      An Awesome company, but an ageing workforce brings momentum challenges

      Pros

      -One of a kind company that you can be very proud to be a part of -Personally, I liked the CEO and the SVP - very passionate people -Excellent benefits (the ESPP plan is pretty awesome that most employees made a fortune on) -The vacation policy and sabbatical are awesome, especially considering that the company observes almost 15 holidays with a December week of rest. (Some who complain about pay and benefits have no clue on what the outside world looks like) -You will experience what working in a global & diverse environment is - great learning -Up until about 2008, it was a fairly flat org with very competent senior management and great focus on making a smaller set of products as wining products (drifted since). But, there are still some really passionate and smart leaders that augur well for the future

      Cons

      Gradually losing focus since 2008 with at senior & middle layer that keeps rotating around frequently Ageing workforce does not seem to have the same zeal as a few years ago and the China acquisition fueled a shift to a laid back approach here Struggling to find balance between China and US, leading to lack of passionate ownership Unfair share of US employees having to attend off hour meetings In the early 2000s, leadership took courageous decisions like sun setting MDT and putting all focus on Inventor ... that seems to be lacking now with too many products and no clear roadmap Highly shifted to a Manager driven culture with only managers driving everything. Architects and leads don't seem to be involved like before. -Career progression or diversion is difficult if you are not a Manager/Exec. Only Managers/Execs are in most meetings, travelling, socializing and they make decisions that are usually favorable to them - also the reason for the frequent re-orgs
