Pros

Exa corporation produces an awesome core product: PowerFLOW. It's easy to use and cool to be associated with the level of accuracy. Healthcare and 401k matching are nice and it appears that in some groups you are paid for your innovation.

Cons

The sales staff are often degrading to the application engineering staff and ignorant of day to day operations. They look to upper management for the status of the product or capabilities. This ignorance causes engineering staff to work harder than they are compensated for to deliver on Sales' promises. This leads to work/life balance issues.

Pros

An interesting array of client projects for people approaching Exa from the directions of software engineering, physics or mechanical engineering. The variety and profile of clients the company's unique place in the automotive and heavy transportation industries can attract is very unique. The working environment is relaxed yet results focused.

Cons

It is possible to be at an entry level engineering position for some years. This simply means that an engineer must differentiate him/herself in some way by contributing to the products. This is really not so much a con as a pro, because it means that the managers have all themselves made some fundamental contribution to PowerFLOW or related products to earn their place in the management chain.
