Pros

The Products & Services are a Niche by itself. Every day is a learning. Second level & below line of employees are best in the class

Cons

If a person aspires for Career growth.. Not a place to venture at all. You are what you are while you joined. Till you leave or are ousted. Only exception is if you are a sycophant. No signs of second level leadership growth. Decisions taken behind closed doors and never transparent. Never flows downwards. Only a Catastrophe will send jitters.. Few heads "BELOW" roll and again "TOP" back to business as usual.

Pros

modelling and simulation is a very interesting space, and brings together great professionals. Everyone submits timesheets so work-life balance is pretty good; you know where you spend your time, and when you have worked a full week.

Cons

Limited career growth, little to no training budget. As a public company, the outlook and planning is short-sighted. Not much in the way of investing in R&D, innovation, strategic partnerships, etc.
