AspenTech Employee Reviews about "work life balance"

Pros

- Great products, market leader. - Good work/life balance - Some good benefits, some not so good.

Cons

This company is managed and run like a company in the 1990's. Extremely bureaucratic, slow, governed processes, systems and tools. CEO and entire C-level team is very old school and uninspiring. Zero trust from upper leadership with there employees. No work from home and everything is on lock-down unless you get the appropriate permissions, which sometimes needs to come from CEO himself which is a red flag that he gets involved in such low level decisions. There is a severe lack of talent at AspenTech. They attract people later in their careers who are either set in their ways or lack the motivation to fight the uphill battles for change. The good workers usually come and go pretty quickly. To their credit they seem to recognize some of these flaws and are attempting to undergo a leadership transformation. Unfortunately for change to truly happen, it has to start at the top, and the CEO is too stubborn and old school to change at this point in his career.

Pros

Nothing is bright. Very limited scope of openness in the company. It is more legal firm than techno firm

Cons

''More concern by 70's style upper management on protecting their little empires than what is best for the company' 'The senior management team are bullies/ they do not know what employee engagement means' Aspen Tech's management team cares only about themselves' 'Work/life balance is non-existent'

:Overall great work life balance Open minded, collaborative atmosphere that strikes a good balance between team work and working autonomously Very intelligent, experienced leaders who develop their teams Office politics are much calmer and easier to navigate compared to other companies Some flexibility around commuting hours

Cons

Not very tolerant with remote working, though supervisors in the department are fairly flexible with this if there is a specific need on occasion (i.e. medical appointment, bad weather). Benefits are good, but not as great as what you'll find at a Fortune 100 company.

Pros

Great opportunities for exposure to all levels of management

Cons

Very busy and growing so you need to work at a work life balance

Pros

- Good work/life balance - Some innovative work

Cons

- Team and manager plays a huge role in shaping your experience at Aspen. Avoid some managers like plague. Sorry, can't name here - Really realy really really sucky salaries no matter what. HR turns cold shoulder when asked about this and shows some bogus surveys - There can be some overhead in R&D work - Very old-school management outlook. They say they want to improve, but I haven't seen any material changes so far

Pros

good package & share option

Cons

no work life balance at all
