Pros

Well-known and established company. The target bonus is respectable. Private health insurance is solid, and the mental health support program is a valuable addition. The on-site restaurant is also a nice perk.

Cons

No flexibility for remote work. After the acquisition of BETA CAE Systems, several previously promised benefits no longer seem to apply. There's also a noticeable disparity in salary progression between employees promoted before and after the acquisition. Additionally, interdepartmental dynamics can sometimes be toxic.

Advice to Management

Consider reinstating the remote work policies that were in place prior to the acquisition.

Also, re-evaluate compensation to ensure it aligns with current expectations and inflation.
