Pros

Ansys has good professionalism, good products, and many opportunities for career growth.

Cons

The accolades Ansys receives for being a good place to work are well deserved for many reasons but beware the customer facing high frequency electronics group. A toxic cabal has risen to power and made the organization very political. Several senior contributors have been forced out of the company after years of productive employment and good performance reviews. Other good engineers have scrambled to get into different organizations to avoid a toxic manager. Promotions and good work assignments have been handed out to loyalists who were otherwise underqualified for the job. Nonetheless, Ansys is a large and successful company. There are many different groups and good career opportunities here.

Pros

Flexibility with WFH/Hybrid depending on your job/team Great starting PTO + decent sick/family time Challenging work Smart, hard-working co-workers People work here for decades because it's a great work culture

Cons

It's a software company. Cramming features in at the last minute, and requiring long hours from testing & doc to meet deadlines, is frustrating but not unexpected Benefits are just OK - lost all of my doctors when they stopped having one local insurance option If you're in R&D but not an engineer, you are undervalued for bonuses No upward path if you don't want to manage - eventually you stagnate and have nowhere to go Agile dev process is challenging for documentation and testing and is not always realistic with big projects Huge uncertainty after Synopsys buyout - I've had bad experiences with EDA companies undervaluing some jobs in the past (testing/doc] so not feeling any job security at the moment
