Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback on your experience at Ansys. We want all employees to know that their priorities are our priorities.
Regarding Synopsys’ planned acquisition of Ansys, our combination centers around building on our incredible successes while continuing to help our customers solve their most complex product challenges. We recognize that Ansys’ greatest asset is our people and look forward to our organizations coming together to accelerate growth and future success. As such, Ansys is not making material changes to our people strategies.
We strongly encourage all employees to engage in confidential and open dialogue with their HR Business Partner or Country HR leader. If you wish to speak with someone directly about your experiences or concerns, please contact your HR partner or our internal ethics hotline.
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
