Pros

good environment nice offices parking Another person wrote: "Support group sessions are available at the pub to vent and find some solace knowing you’re not alone in the misery you feel."

Cons

CEO is nice, but never present, who really runs the company is the COO, and that's the problem. Your opinion won't be heard. With 15% of leavers and 2% of starters last year - well, you get the idea. Bad remuneration, but the COO believes people will work there anyway, because the office is "nice" and the product is "awesome". Don't expect training, as someone else mentioned, they believe "training is for monkeys". Everything else

Pros

A leading, privately-held provider of materials data management solutions with established, blue-chip customers in aerospace and defense, automotive, high-tech, and other discrete manufacturing industries. Plus partnerships with the major PLM and simulation solution providers. Semi-annual customer consortia that provide input and prioritization on new product development. If you like to travel to Europe, the company is based in Cambridge, UK and you will have opportunities to travel abroad for company meetings. Very flexible travel policy

Cons

Management needs to be more open to considering and implementing constructive feedback from the field. Complex compensation plan Although it is privately held, most employees are granted a very small amount of stock options.
