Relaxed atmosphere, bad compensation

Pros

Beautiful new Boston HQ Great People Great Benefits Relaxed Atmosphere Open door policy with most executives

Cons

TERRIBLE, UNSUPPORTIVE HR STAFF Compensation varies across the brands - the guy sitting next to you doing the same job will earn significantly more because he is part of a different legal entity. Awful compensation for the Boston area....negotiate strong up front because no matter how far up the ladder you go, HR will not support a bump in compensation. Many of the SolidWorks people think they are better than the rest of the organization.

Pros

The vision is great, it is on paper at least a global company, the products are cutting edge. Footprint is there in all the traditional industries, Dassault is present in all the major accounts of these traditional industries. Benefits are good, at least in head quarters in France. Travel is business class for trips over 4 hours, it is a wealthy company and it shows. Once you have a position, you can do pretty much what you want to do (at least as middle management level and above). With the right position, you get to travel all over the world and do a pretty interesting job. If you like technology, it is a good place to be.

Cons

There is absolutely no career management whatsoever. That is unless you are somehow related to someone at the right level at Dassault Aviation, Dassault Systemes or a major client. Since the company is after all not that big, it seriously limits the number of available positions. Culture is difficult to assimilate, and it is rare to have people hired with a good background (say at least 15 years experience) staying more than two years. Benefits are good in France but standard elsewhere, pay is below market. Company reorganizes each year, which does not give one the time to grow in a given position and prove their value. Also, it is easy to be out of favor and disappear in the crowd, examples abound.
