Access to a state of the art fab lab with all material costs covered Some of the smartest minds in the industry Near perfect work-life balance with zero expectation in most units of you taking any work home A fantastic Intern program that really fosters interns to succeed outside of the company Real positive culture, no one will ever say no if you need help. It doesn't matter if they are on another continent and decades your senior Real opportunity to grow and succeed Amazing pay Okay benefits Fantastic campus with awesome support staff and cafeteria

Cons

Very hard to find a full-time position because no one ever quits

Pros

Great work life balance. Good pay. Friendly co-workers.

Cons

Over regulated. Very little room for creativity. You are not given adequate tools to do your work effectively. Instead you have to rely on finding work-arounds for almost any development task. Extremely inefficient and slow software development environment. The managers are confused and lack leadership. Assignments are very vague, and it is almost impossible to get clear information on anything. Instead you have to rely on asking multiple people for guidance anytime you start a new project. Heavily dependent on third party libraries with almost no documentation. Very frustrating work-environment.

Pros

Good salary and excellent benefits, higher management know what they are doing, employee friendly, productive work atmosphere, excellent and high value projects and customers

Cons

None.... Enjoyed my stay at the company.

Pros

Great company culture, good work-life balance, great colleagues and exciting products to work on.

Cons

Dassault Systemes did not see the opportunities to invest in the SolidWorks brand.

Pros

Working in the field provides lots of insulation from the life in an office and the politics that go with it.

Cons

The influence and restrictions that come from Dassault can be really annoying.
