Pros

Great software and optimization Open office, encourages collaboration The smartest and most productive workforce I've seen in an office Fast paced and flat culture, your ideas are always heard and often put into action People truly enjoy working here, but the sudden changes are demoralizing

Cons

Unfortunately, a corporate takeover by Dassault Systemes promises to remove the Quintiq culture. Work-life balance depends on your project. Long days, late nights, travel, and even weekend work can be necessary and sometimes common. Additional work both within and beyond your own project is expected, to assist others. In return, Quintiq compensated with time-for-time (paid overtime or extra time off). But, time-for-time is being taken away. In fact, management has approached employees on this with some aggression, and we'll lose earned time-for-time retroactively from the beginning of the year. As opposed to Quintiq's culture, Dassault Systemes evidently prefers a standard corporate top-down approach.

Pros

This is a good place to get experience if you're interested in Aerospace, IT, Automotive, CAD, Engineering space. There are opportunities to learn and advance your career if you make the right connections.

Cons

Management is very unorganized due to constant shift in priorities. Be prepared to have a new manager assigned quarterly which will impact expectations for performance evaluations. This is a French company that manages business entities around the world. The US and French management are very disconnected. If you are assigned a manager who is based overseas, you will absolutely have a difficult time and minimal work life balance.
