Large corporation focused on the "bottom line" (employees are assets, not people)

Software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Average salaries, decent benefits, bonuses.

Cons

Much lip service about valuing employees while this company will immediately lay-off with no notice at all (I personally witnessed this more than twice) Don't believe that things will go on as usual if your company is bought out by them. Update your resume NOW. No hope for relocation assistance either no matter how good your past performance has been. There are more supportive software companies out there with better benefits.

The upper management is way too greedy

Software engineer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Really bright coworkers in do-er category. An interesting work. Flexible hours. Vacation policy.

Cons

See the title: the CEO does not want to limit his bonus, so too many people are laid-off to cut costs.

Pros

Learn how to create, maintain and support great software. Great place to earn bleeding edge front-line CAD\Scientific and Mathematical software industry experience. Technical managers are knowledgeable and have been many years in the company. Work environment is supportive and helps you achieve your professional goals. Flexible hours. Good place to padd your CV Offices are nice and spacious. Technical staff are very professional.

Cons

Long hours in software development ( in Creo Pro\E teams at least ), at least 10.5 hours of work\day. Very long time till promotion ( 5+ years ). No significant bonuses or none-salary compensation in lower or entry level positions. Future and long term development is not clear. You only focus on the short term goals. Experience gained will be limited to a very specific area. Staying a long time in the company will damage your future hireability. No quirks like free food as in other leading Software companies. Most of your time ( ~90% of total work time ) will be devoted to fixing bugs and supporting specific customers, R&D and new product devlopment is limited ( ~10% of total work time).
