      Strong bones, but company is run by aging managers who aren't positioned for the future.

      Pros

      Bentley has a strong underlying business model and makes most of its annual revenue from subscriptions. The company is run conservatively and the people are quality folks.

      Cons

      The big issue is the management team is almost identical to the one which was running the company 15 years ago at 1/3 the revenue. They don't know what they don't know about running a much larger company.

      Pros

      Great knowledge base among the technical staff and development groups. Superior set and quite a wide range of software products. Remote working is a wonderful thing, but no longer that uncommon at tech companies.

      Cons

      Heavy bloat at the middle management level and blatant nepotism make it hard to advance beyond a certain level. Seems some management is placed in "new" positions to keep them from damaging business rather than firing them. Corporate policies have changed constantly the entire time I was there.

      Pros

      Remote work. Work/life balance. Apparently you can underperform and stay employed.

      Cons

      Expensive benefits compared to other companies. Below average salary. Clueless upper management. Working with some of them just makes you wonder how they even got there. Your performance doesn't matter. Laid off a lot of talented people, and kept a lot of dead weight. Hiring cheap labor outside the US.
