Pros

There are many valuable employees within the organization; however, a significant number are leaving due to the toxic work culture and ineffective management. Addressing these issues is crucial to retaining top talent and improving overall organizational health. On the other hand, the products Aspen sell are one of the best products within this industry.

Cons

My experience with them was significantly challenging with the management. The decision-making process appears inconsistent and is often influenced by internal politics, leading to an environment where unprofessional behavior is not only tolerated but sometimes even encouraged. Additionally, I have encountered instances of discrimination and retaliation, which have exacerbated my concerns. The overall lack of respect and professionalism in this environment is troubling and adversely affected my ability to work effectively hence the decision to leave.

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.
