Good work life balance but low career growth

Anonymous employee

Business Outlook

Pros

Bentley is a very human, serious and honest company, with strong values and an inspiring CEO - Greg Bentley. Good flexibility to work and trust from overseas managers. Good work life balance.

Cons

Since it´s a matricial type of organization, it´s a bit hard to be promoted in the company. Career growth is not so good, neither salaries (in the low part of the average). Staff is very reduced, so sometimes work can be very operational and not so productive.

Bentley Systems Response

Thanks for taking the time to write an honest reply. In addition to adding some career paths for more roles in the organization, we continue to promote our internal training opportunities to enable more colleagues the chance to grow personally and professionally.
