Pros

No pros at the moment. Base salary only.

Cons

Almost nine months have passed since the beginning of the terrible war in Ukraine. More than one month have passed since mobilization and complete destruction of all remaining civil rights and freedoms in the country. More than 1M of Russians left the country up to date. Company is doing nothing, just counting money. Aspentech is trying to run business in Russia as usual in the completely crazy environment. Company didn't left Russia and didn't supported the employees. No relocation options, no feedback and help from local management, executives abroad and HR. They are pushing us to sign the contracts as usual and overcome all the incredible obstacles we face on the market taking full risk to ourselves. The company completely ruined the trust and loyalty. What a shame.

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.
