Pros

The team is very talented and motivated to deliver functionality to the customer base. The rule has always been to give >80% of the what the big products deliver for <50% of the price. The teams will always work together to solve problems.

Cons

The solutions are regularly rejected by Dassault management without explanation or compromise. The upper management fails to understand that the Solidworks product line addresses a different market than the Catia brand. They insist on applying large market methods to Soldiworks product line.The employees are no longer afforded status within the larger company. There is no certainty of how the Brand will continue. Automony is lost on all levels under and One Company mantra.

Pros

There are some really talented and great people scattered amongst the nuts! Great products, great innovation and some depts know how to do it right.

Cons

HR is the laughing stock of the company and senior management refuses to acknowledge the depths of the dysfunction. Favoritism abounds in many depts and apathy from Sr. Management to address issues and resolve conflicts creates frustration at all levels. DS is now running the show and has instituted socialistic rules at the new headquarters in Waltham.
