Pros

Very family oriented and good benefits It's a great place if you want to put your head down, stay in the same job, not expect advancement but have a very stable and secure position.

Cons

It's still run by an iron fist by brothers who don't want to hear opinions that differ from theirs. They don't understand, furthermore value marketing. The technical brother will change products at last minute for no reason other than curiosity, regardless of market needs or promises. The CEO brother will go through 50 revisions of a press release as his is the only voice that matters while building no cohesion between product lines and messages. Marcom exists only to serve his wants and build his presentations. Product marketing was probably built when he was told it was important, but they got rid of experienced folks with minds of their own and kept people who understood that product marketing had nothing to do with products and were just presentation builders for their own management. Too much politics and ego, to little camaraderie and to much push only from that top. And that's while they claim nobody's really an "employee," a verboten word. They're "collegues." However, they're as much colleagues as Russians were comrades under Stalin, humorous coming from right wing founders. They even didn't give raises to North American employees claiming the gains were good enough while, somehow, they still took out lots of money for their horse farms.

Pros

A good experience to use and share our knowledge with the best engineering software. Presentations, seminars and workshops challenges and enhances our engineering knowledge.

Cons

Too many people who doesn't coordinate with each other. There are more number of sales staff compared to engineers for an engineering software provider.
