Pros

Solution set is world class and sales support is strong. Lots of niche competitors but no one can touch the breadth of capabilities ANSYS offers.

Cons

Licensing model is somehwhat outdated and poses challenges when trying to negotiate true enterprise deals. The company has a very conservative approach from when the business was much smaller. Internal approvals and order processing/booking are extremely inefficient.

Pros

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
