Pros

Great company to be a part of if you are the type of person who is diligent and ultimately cares about the company’s mission. I have been with AspenTech for several years, I have had no lack of opportunity to advance my career and am thankful for those experiences, as they would be tough to find elsewhere! AspenTech is a smart company and has been around 35+ years. We are the market leader in process/asset optimization and are financially savvy – sometimes that means expenses are tight, but we are a stable company, this means no layoffs. We are entering a new phase of our life cycle as we plan to grow our revenue from $500 million to $1 billion. It is an exciting time to be part of our journey! We recently hired a new CHRO and COO to help achieve this goal. Our CEO has acknowledged the importance of culture in influencing our growth which is reassuring. The company has come a long way, I am excited to see what’s in store in the next 5 years. Pay is good, benefits are great. This past year, our CEO granted stock to the general employee population due to tax savings - this is almost unheard of in the industry.

Cons

AspenTech is not for everyone – if you are excited by the chance to be part of something great and willing to work hard, you will be successful and rewarded.

Pros

Good products with large customer base. Product development is innovative and willing to work directly with customers. Base pay for sales reps is improving after the acquisition by Emerson Electric. The Emerson Electric acquisition is received positively by the customers. Internal training is good and readily available. Collaboration between the various departments is excellent.

Cons

New management is focused on running the sales organization by spreadsheet metrics vs. obtaining and improving customer relationships. Product pricing and sales approval processes are very complex. Customers are seen as captives and when they request reasonable changes to their contract, they are often denied if there is not significant revenue growth (results in bad relationships). Sales management is spending more time in internal meetings than with customers and their reps.
