Pros

Opportunity to work in diverse technologies, industries. Abaqus remains an awesome product. Many knowledgeable and smart people.

Cons

Proliferation of too many sales and operational people has diluted the focus and lead to excessive political bureaucracy. Focus on sales has increased manifolds and sales extort disproportionate credit for any increase in revenue undermining the role of other factors. The contribution of product quality, documentation , support and dedication of engineers is undermined. Too many incompetent managers have been promoted over the past few years. It is surprising to see supposed technical heads who will struggle with the basics of FEA and structural mechanics !!!! If the trend continues, product quality will eventually suffer and the product will collapse over the next 10-20 yrs.

Pros

Work-life balance is nice. Fellow colleagues are friendly and helpful. Work environment is healthy in almost all aspects.

Cons

The pay is a bit lower than tech companies. But as long as you don't crave for pay that much, it's a decent job to stay in.

Pros

Great work life balance Truly unlimited PTO Friendly coworkers who are willing to help you learn the software and proprietary tools My manager is very hands-on -- management is mostly past engineers so they are also very qualified

Cons

Almost all proprietary and in-house tools
