Pros

Work-life balance has remained overall positive

Cons

Plenty of people have done a good job explaining the dowfall of this company since the acquisition by Dassault Systemes. TLDR: Upper management consistently makes decisions that harm employees. There is very little overlap between what DS wants and what the employees want. Their priorities are overwhelmingly skewed towards DS interests and requirements. These include but are not limited to: -Return to office -No pay rises for this cycle -Reduced budget for activities -Low salaries/large pay bands -Limited benefits -Limited progression -Limited internal movement

Pros

Some great people in the technology departments

Cons

- Enforcing Return to Office for no good reason - Below average pay for location - Huge workload, not worth the pay - No progression - Recent layoffs (5% of company), yet there are still far too many managers who don't do anything

Pros

- Flexible and relaxed working environment. - First class office in an excellent location. - Good tech stack, which attracts smart engineers. - Decent travel opportunities.

Cons

- The middle management is severely incompetent, takes credit for everything that goes right and shifts the blame to someone else when things go wrong. As a result, it is very difficult to get promoted or recognised if you are not a manager. - Offshore teams that have no idea what they are doing. - Mediocre salary. - No effective feedback cycle, objectives, or career development. - Very bad engineering practices that come from management and their desire to deliver things quickly, which results in bad quality software, a lot of bugs and late hours trying to fix the bugs and release them.
