Pros

Great place to start and grow for the first 2 or 3 levels. Meritocracy rules at these early stages of career.

Cons

Beyond the early career stages, growth potential exists, but it's very arbitrary. Very advanced & deep technical expertise is needed to excel in ANSYS technologies. However, managers are busy playing politics to notice and encourage real value creators. Hence being "visible" is a better approach to grow than being really good at what you do.

Pros

The atmosphere is generally casual and professional in the NH office. The vast majority of employees in the NH office are very cordial and professional. Work environment was very pleasant, and I was very satisfied with the hands-off management style of most managers.

Cons

Your job will not be at all secure in the current climate. Executives seem very two-faced and only look out for themselves. I am not the only one who feels wrongly terminated and has lost much respect for those in upper management during the most recent layoff. No reasons were given for termination; only that it was not merit-based. Did they just draw names from a hat? They even fired a janitor! The executives claim that there were budgetary reasons for the RIF, but the SEC website reports bonuses on the order of 80-100% for executives. Jim Cashman's bonus was over 100% (just above $500k). How does he sleep at night?
