      Excellent people, good pay, not enough responsibilities and ownership of work

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      People are smart and fun to work with. Genuinely nice people. Pay is pretty good, comparable with Bay Area levels. Great work-life balance most times. Excellent benefits.

      Cons

      Poor quality of senior management and leadership. Too many older people. Need more young blood. Need more trained managers. Often, lot of planning and talking, but not enough action.

      Started well but now frustrating experience

      Principal engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The management is very good at supporting good work/life balance. They are quite good at paying above average. Good benefits and ESPP program.

      Cons

      Leadership lacks vision especially in AEC division. AEC division is racked by politics stemming from Revit acquisition years ago. Have to walk on eggshells and technical decisions are not respected because of political considerations. There are also severe lack of career growth options. You get stuck in a role and don't have a choice in moving around. Morale is quite low in AEC and talented people are leaving. Innovation is not encouraged and individuals who take the initiative are often told that it's not their job to go outside of their described responsibilities.
