Pros

The best thing from my own experience, is that they don't micro-manage you. They hire you to do the job and don't feel the need to hover over you to ensure you get it done. They provide a friendly open environment where everyone works together, without a defined hierarchy. You are treated as an equal by everyone, regardless of the initials that follow their name. They strive to provide a relaxed atmosphere and grant employees opportunities to have fun with their co-workers, whether it be at the weekly on site happy hours, to the amenities like, pool table, shuffleboard and Foosball or the full gym and basketball court. I also like the relaxed dress code.

Cons

Honestly, I haven't found any. I'll update my review should I stumble across something later.

Pros

- Interesting industry - Great tech stacks - Mid-size company with Enterprise customers

Cons

When I was there, a lot of M&A with natural shifts. But since acquisition by Dassault, probably more stable.

Pros

Great place for PhD scientists in chemistry and materials science - a good launchpad for for college grads with PhD.

Cons

Company is wrought with politics. The Scietigic (acquisition) folks create a caustic environment and fight against the rest of Accelrys. HR is one of the worst in the industry - very political. The company is hardly growing. Most of the products are not doing well and it is very difficult to grow within the firm. Most people learn at Accelrys and then get better and more senior roles elsewhere Hiring and firing is very subjective - you could be the best at what you do but if HR does not like you, they can get rid of you. I resigned from the firm as I found better opportunities. others were not that lucky.
