Pros

Has some of the best technologies in some areas. Sometimes gets a free hand in developing things if you know what you are doing. Get to work closely with customers

Cons

Too much management interference in some cases. Too much personal politics at higher management levels. Different organizational units have conflicting interests.

Pros

Aspen has some very good benefits, that have been left over from when they were first started. The salary is good and the benfits, especially the healthcare are good. Overall, the people that work there, especially in services, are nice and good to work with.

Cons

Since Mark Fusco has taken over, there is definitely a very strong focus on financial performance. Granted, strong financials are strong for any company, especially a company like Aspen that almost went under, but it seems to be taking away from the quality of the products and services, as well as the focus on people. Aspen also seems to have an ivory tower mentality in terms of product development. The development organization is very inwardly focused and seems to look down on the customers and other parts of the comany. Lastly, the company does not seem to really focus or care about employeed development or training. They offer elearning, but anything beyond that is near impossible to do.

Pros

It pays the bills until I get a better job when the economy recovers. AZPN makes take furloughs without pay which means I can spend more time with my family. We get free coffee. I can ride my bike to work in the summer. We get free bus fare to reduce global warming. We get free soft drinks.

Cons

Company can not report earnings in a timely manner. Senior management is clueless about how the oil and gas industry works. AZPN senior management post messages to Yahoo chat boards on howe great of a company AZPN which contain false information. The way AZPN books software revenue is like a ponzi scheme. Our CEO soends too much time at his son's hockey games.
