Business Outlook

Pros

Bentley has many internal, global opportunities for vertical and horizontal growth. Seems to be very family oriented. Many colleagues work from home offices and travel significantly which lends itself to flexible work hours. Colleagues are generally very friendly and welcoming and team oriented.

Cons

Being a global company with individuals working with colleagues globally, the remote work can run the risk of odd hours of meetings or work -- one just has to find a way to manage their schedule accordingly.

The Magarpatta city office location was the only tiring concern I faced. Would have been great if it possibly be in city nearby.
