Business outlook
Pros
The people at ANSYS are the first reason why it is a great company. The technology is constantly evolving and through internal development and new acquisitions getting more capable and complex all the time. Learning opportunities are abundant.
Cons
Not really a con, but it would be nice to have a basic test lab to actually build and test products designed in the software and use the real world design as further validation and proof of first pass design success enabled by the software.

Thanks for your feedback. It’s great to hear you enjoy working with the people here at ANSYS! As our technology continues to evolve, hopefully our approach to testing will evolve too.
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
