Pros

There are still some great people working at SolidWorks. The health care benefits are nice and they cover more costs than most companies.

Cons

Ever increasing DS presence. Change of corporate culture that pushed out the lion share of talent and leadership within SolidWorks.

Pros

Well-funded, stable work environment. Flexible with remote work (depending on your manager). Good vacation/holiday time off. Good benefits offered. Nice new LEED Platinum office building. Occasional travel to Velizy, France.

Cons

Your compensation review will list, for example, a 16% increase in revenue and thousands of new customers.. and then they'll hand you a 2.5% raise and tell you they don't care that that doesn't cover inflation or increases in employee contribution to your benefits. This is a $4 billion company, but they'll cut your pay each year with that 2.5% raise. Management can be best described as disorganized and largely incompetent. Managers can lie to your face with witnesses and suffer no consequences, despite your having proof in writing of the lies. They will hire you to do one thing then tell you on your first day that you'll be doing something else (and in my case, that something else was the reason I had left my previous job.)
