Pros

The only saving grace is the wonderful team in the Cambridge office, for their sanity I wish it was a completely separate entity.

Cons

Product-washing at its worst, the La Jolla ivory tower retains all strategic control, PMs throw an endless list of tactics on an initiatives sheet straight out of waterfall 2004. Zero transparency and senior execs are completely invisible, there’s an absolute chasm between them and the rest of the staff. Product leadership are rude, insulting and undermining to the point of being inhuman. So if you enjoy micromanagement, burnout, and your self-confidence being bludgeoned to a pulp, Altium is the place for you.

Pros

Having gainful employment - not being unemployed.

Cons

Senior management often described as "cruel." Upward mobility is incredibly rare in favor of external hiring. Culture that is defined by corporate fear with communist undertones - quite literally.
