Pros
The people here are very kind and the culture is a great mix of flexible/trusting and innovative. You're trusted to get your work done without micromanagement while still having the support you need.
Cons
It would be great if the ERGs could throw more virtual events for community building. With how large Ansys is, it's hard to meet colleagues sometimes.

Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback on #LifeAtAnsys!
Flexibility with WFH/Hybrid depending on your job/team
Great starting PTO + decent sick/family time
Challenging work
Smart, hard-working co-workers
People work here for decades because it's a great work culture
Cons
It's a software company. Cramming features in at the last minute, and requiring long hours from testing & doc to meet deadlines, is frustrating but not unexpected
Benefits are just OK - lost all of my doctors when they stopped having one local insurance option
If you're in R&D but not an engineer, you are undervalued for bonuses
No upward path if you don't want to manage - eventually you stagnate and have nowhere to go
Agile dev process is challenging for documentation and testing and is not always realistic with big projects
Huge uncertainty after Synopsys buyout - I've had bad experiences with EDA companies undervaluing some jobs in the past (testing/doc] so not feeling any job security at the moment
