AspenTech Employee Reviews about "work from home"

Pros

Great people, great location and good onsite amenities. Some really great people who work in the office and they really make the job worth it. Reasonably wages but good package offered.

Cons

Management has no idea. Too many technical managers with no actual technical experience. Upper management doesn't listen to staff and this is noted in every quarterly call. Pay raises are minimal (less than a living wage) Promotions are non-existent with them employing new people rather than training existing employees. Even then - existing employees are expected to train seniors new in the door (without the appropriate experience) The company promtes a no working from home attitude which is crazy in this day and age however management work from home reguarly.

Pros

The company is undergoing a huge (and much-needed) cultural change which means being an active participant in leading the company towards a positive, new direction. Every day I feel like the things I'm doing and working on are meaningful and actually influencing the future of the company – it's a great opportunity to have a small-company feel while also having resources of a large, global operation. Solid work-life balance is also encouraged as part of the culture change, which is definitely appreciated.

Cons

Change is happening, but can sometimes feel like it's moving at a glacial pace. There are definitely still a few people slow to adopt new ways of working and thinking. Because of that, sometimes you have to work incredibly diligently to get ideas across the line and change people's mindsets. Also work from home is not an official company policy (though most managers are okay with it), so there aren't great resources in place to accommodate.

Pros

Good company product and vision.

Cons

Low salary, management does not trust employees (no work from home), place is run by control freaks. HR is pitiful. Just puppets. Regularly firing people is what they like to do best.

Pros

Benefits were okay. 3 weeks vacation.

Cons

Very rigid rules. Boring people. Not a great place to grow. No work from home days.

Pros

Good Exposure to work Supportive employees for any work good work life balance Good Salary Free Parking

Cons

No Sabbatical vacation until you complete 5 years No work from home, but you can take once in a while

Pros

Very intelligent colleagues. Travel and opportunities to meet people from other parts of the world. Emphasis on continuing education and skills improvement. One of the best best health insurance coverage, seemingly unaffected by the disastrous Obamacare.

Cons

"No work from home ever" mentality. Astonishing amount of micromanagement. Greed. Not taking into account "the will of the people" Changing things at the last moment and having others deal with the consequences. Some people who process orders do so without any obvious sense of priority. Fear. And it deserves a special paragraph. - fear to take responsibility - fear to speak up - fear to say anything critical of the management - fear to say CEO's name out loud - fear to end up on the next layoff and creating unnecessary drama as a result
