World-class technology, uninspired leadership...

Account manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The technology and applications are very diverse and interesting, which makes the learning never-ending. And there are many very smart people to enjoy working with.

Cons

The culture is dominated by individuals protecting themselves, rather than a sense of team and working towards a common goal. This emanates from the top down, and the motivation tactic is fear rather than reward. The company is very bureaucratic and ultra conservative for a high-tech "growth" software company. Inspiration is lacking with higher levels of management.

Business Outlook

Pros

The technology they create is awesome! Leading edge multi-physics simulation for mechanical and electrical engineers. If you like to be around smart people who are doing amazing things, this place is for you.

Cons

They are headquartered in Pennsylvania, and they seem to underpay IT and others in more of a support role, at least out here in the West Coast. They have grown quite large by acquisition, but until now, have not made the effort to integrate the various company infrastructures or cultures. Due to unrealistic goals to consolidate, they have left the San Jose office with incredibly old and outdated infrastructure that is quite fragile and ready to fail, and yet they expect us to keep it running all the time.
