Pros

Good people. Good at keeping costs down.

Cons

Extremely high turnover due to poor executive management and poor pay/raises. You can receive a high performance rating in your annual review and then are rewarded with an almost non-existent raise. The CFO talks negatively about almost every employee that leaves, which is extremely unprofessional and a terrible way to lead. Terrible communication between the executive team. Terrible systems. They are also a "no thrills" company, so don't expect any company outings or team building activities besides the annual cookout which is essentially an extended lunch.

High operating margin is the corporate goal. Employee satisfaction and morale pay the freight here.

Business Outlook

Pros

Make sure you negotiate a good salary from the beginning as raises and promotions come slowly, if they ever come at all. Benefits seem to be on par with other tech firms. Location and office conditions are good.

Cons

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.

Pros

paycheck never bounced and health claim always paid out.

Cons

AspenTech has a long history of doing big deals with international energy & chemical companies. These deals come along very infrequently. If you are lucky enough to hit the jackpot on your first spin of the wheel (Quarter 1/2) your commission will be "Windfall" clause reduced. Stated another way you wont see even half of what the payout should be.
