Good working environment. Growth opportunities exist if you stay with the company and motivated. Good benefits
Cons
Need to be competitive with other companies in terms of compensation. Some markets are OK, but some are not in sync
Ansys Response
7y
Although career development is owned by the employee, we’re looking for additional opportunities to help empower employees to continue growing their career at ANSYS. We appreciate your feedback!
Flexibility with WFH/Hybrid depending on your job/team
Great starting PTO + decent sick/family time
Challenging work
Smart, hard-working co-workers
People work here for decades because it's a great work culture
Cons
It's a software company. Cramming features in at the last minute, and requiring long hours from testing & doc to meet deadlines, is frustrating but not unexpected
Benefits are just OK - lost all of my doctors when they stopped having one local insurance option
If you're in R&D but not an engineer, you are undervalued for bonuses
No upward path if you don't want to manage - eventually you stagnate and have nowhere to go
Agile dev process is challenging for documentation and testing and is not always realistic with big projects
Huge uncertainty after Synopsys buyout - I've had bad experiences with EDA companies undervaluing some jobs in the past (testing/doc] so not feeling any job security at the moment
