Pros

Some great people, some good technology and a lot of potential

Cons

Atrocious management especially CRO and CFO. Bentley's motto is: make it as difficult as possible for Users and Employee's. Unfortunately I agree with most of the negative comments in previous reviews, even the one about HR instructing staff to make positive comments on Glassdoor to counter the negative ones. Bentley's latest restructure has been disastrous, with very few people competent enough to make it work and total disrespect for the workforce and the people who have helped build the company. Moral is the lowest it has ever been, compensation plans are unfair, where you can actually end up owing the company money. There is no work, life balance . There is no leadership, management is based on do it or else... Internal systems malfunction often. The culture has deteriorated into having to watch your back, with multiple silos and very few people willing to help out others. If it is not in their job description then why should they bother...
