Pros

Dassault offers nearly everything an engineer could ever want to do. Software development, CFD/FEM simulation, CAD, cloud computing, etc. Good benefits (vacation, home office, sick leave for children)

Cons

Dassault is bureaucratic and VERY hierarchical. It is the exact opposite of a flat management style. All information has to flow through Paris. The focus is entirely on quarterly sales and the culture is very salesy. Lots of BS marketing Powerpoint presentations. They acquire smaller companies faster than they can integrate them. The company is confusingly divided into brands internally (CATIA, SIMULIA, etc).

Pros

This is a good place to get experience if you're interested in Aerospace, IT, Automotive, CAD, Engineering space. There are opportunities to learn and advance your career if you make the right connections.

Cons

Management is very unorganized due to constant shift in priorities. Be prepared to have a new manager assigned quarterly which will impact expectations for performance evaluations. This is a French company that manages business entities around the world. The US and French management are very disconnected. If you are assigned a manager who is based overseas, you will absolutely have a difficult time and minimal work life balance.
