Pros

Beautiful new Boston HQ Great People Great Benefits Relaxed Atmosphere Open door policy with most executives

Cons

TERRIBLE, UNSUPPORTIVE HR STAFF Compensation varies across the brands - the guy sitting next to you doing the same job will earn significantly more because he is part of a different legal entity. Awful compensation for the Boston area....negotiate strong up front because no matter how far up the ladder you go, HR will not support a bump in compensation. Many of the SolidWorks people think they are better than the rest of the organization.

Pros

This is a good place to get experience if you're interested in Aerospace, IT, Automotive, CAD, Engineering space. There are opportunities to learn and advance your career if you make the right connections.

Cons

Management is very unorganized due to constant shift in priorities. Be prepared to have a new manager assigned quarterly which will impact expectations for performance evaluations. This is a French company that manages business entities around the world. The US and French management are very disconnected. If you are assigned a manager who is based overseas, you will absolutely have a difficult time and minimal work life balance.
