Pros

Nice little town to work and live. No traffic jams. Nice colleagues, supportive and knowledgeable. OK payment, good reputation company to work for

Cons

Poor management, at least for developers, only these who has good relations with header get promoted. Contributions are less appreciated than flattering, motivation killing. Each department of ANSYS has different cultures, the one in Lebanon has wired atmosphere. Being excellent on flattery makes you successful😂

Pros

Flexibility with WFH/Hybrid depending on your job/team Great starting PTO + decent sick/family time Challenging work Smart, hard-working co-workers People work here for decades because it's a great work culture

Cons

It's a software company. Cramming features in at the last minute, and requiring long hours from testing & doc to meet deadlines, is frustrating but not unexpected Benefits are just OK - lost all of my doctors when they stopped having one local insurance option If you're in R&D but not an engineer, you are undervalued for bonuses No upward path if you don't want to manage - eventually you stagnate and have nowhere to go Agile dev process is challenging for documentation and testing and is not always realistic with big projects Huge uncertainty after Synopsys buyout - I've had bad experiences with EDA companies undervaluing some jobs in the past (testing/doc] so not feeling any job security at the moment
