AspenTech reviews

The definition of micro management. An environment of FEAR. No strategy, all execution, detail over substance. ALL decisions come from the top, and this combined with FEAR culture kills innovation and slows everything to a crawl.

-Raises and promotions are almost non-existent. -Nothing is done by the executive team to retain valuable employees. Even the brightest people are treated like commodities, regardless of their contributions to the company. -The turnover rate in most departments, and at every job level, is ridiculous by any standards. Those who stay more than a year are either looking for new jobs or feel prohibited from leaving by their outside responsibilities. -The constant turnover makes progress impossible, with all time being consumed either by covering others' jobs or training new hires. -Executives are in a constant battle to be more powerful than each other, to the detriment of everyone beneath them. They preach collaboration while fighting to keep each other down, managing to get in the way of progress and even day-to-day operations.
