Pros

Peer group is exceptional but some of them get "disappeared". Self directed work. Customers appreciate what you do for them.

Cons

Management doesn't care about people leaving and the resulting loss of intellectual property. Stealth layoffs. CEO checks everyone's expense accounts himself. Management team is the Master of PowerPoints. HR is totally inflexible on company "policies". CEO's team are all yes men because he is so vindictive to those who disagree with him. Management has no understanding of the oil and gas business. Client companies hate Aspen because of its policies but can't go elsewhere (yet).

Pros

Easy Commute, free coffee and tea, good lighting in cubicles, lots of parking, cafeteria in building, highway access is good. They are upfront about the fact that they do not value their employees - so you don't have a lot of expectations about how you will be treated - they are honest in that regard. Good product!

Cons

- A very anti-employee company - If you are a foreign employee being sponsored by AspenTech, please think carefully - you might find yourself in a situation where you can't get out easily - Hostile work environment - that filters down through the entire company and is actually encouraged internally - Senior Management have terrible reputations as "screamers" - the CEO in particular - Very poor communication overall - Company wastes tons of money by continuing to follow processes that don't work (ironic that AT produces "Process Improvement" software LOL ;-) - Teamwork and initiative are constantly undermined by management

Pros

There are some good people in the organization. Salaries are fairly competitive. Burlingtin is a decent location compared to their old Cambridge office.

Cons

Exec leadership leaves a lot to be desired. SDLC is still buried in the mid eighties....outside consultants destroy any sense of team within software de.
