Pros

Experience is at a premium with Bentley. It's both good and bad. You are thrown to the wolves, but if you swim, not sink, its a good experience.

Cons

If anyone can actually figure out the compensation plan, they probably have a PHD from UPenn. Corporate goals and employee compensation are completely misaligned.

Pros

Remote Work Average benefits 1 hour paid lunch break

Cons

There is little strategic direction from upper management. It is clear that the company lacks a cohesive vision, and that they have a "more is more" approach to products and acquisitions. They fail to streamline. Management is largely comprised of out-dated skillsets and industry understanding who compensate by bullying those they manage. It is very much a culture of bullying and absentee management. I would say that it is a job, but plan to leave. They do not reward loyalty, punish hard work, and they don't pay well enough to put up with either of those.

Pros

Lot's of time off, high accrual rates. Great work-life balance. Flexible scheduling. Able to work from home and colleagues are great.

Cons

Upper management decisions aren't always for the best. Not always transparent when new positions are available. Colleagues given promotions without posting the position so not much room for advancement unless you're in with the right people.
