Dassault Reviews

I worked at Dassault full-time

Pros – - Exposure to PLM products such as CATIA, ENOVIA, etc. heavily used in many fields of engineering
- Friendly and supportive teammates
- Possibility to travel and consult at different customers worldwide, if interested
- Great office location near metro station (in Old Montreal)

Cons – - Low pay compared to industry standards
- Very high turnover in the Engineering department. If you have a background in Mechanical Engineering, you might not stay very long in the company, unless you are willing to change departments and/or willing to work more in the IT/computer engineering field (since it's a software company).

Advice to Senior Management – Change the strategy of the Engineering department; it's bleeding out.

I worked at Dassault

Pros – You can work there and surf the web all day but who wants to do that?
