The employees at Simulia are extremely knowledgeable and bright people. Their integrity is also very high. Since DS acquired Abaqus the work environment has changed. The 'big company' feel is certainly evident, but overall it's still a good company to work for.
Cons
The DS umbrella adds a lot of red tape which really hinders your ability to complete tasks in an efficient manner.
The DS corporate vision is exciting and energizing. The work environment is friendly and spacious. The culture is one of respect and an appreciation for intellectual property.
Cons
There is limited growth in some departments and the work/life balance is an issue for some.
