Pros

Great colleagues, and collegial environment. Interesting product portfolio. Location is good.

Cons

There is a large disconnect between executive management & real issues in workforce. The Workplace is under-resourced for the set objectives in all departments. The company has experienced annual redundancies (7 years running) & struggles for profitability. The lack of financial stability leads to limited growth & development opportunities. Annual Salary adjustments do not keep up with inflation. Human resources management is quite poor.

Pros

- Interesting industry - Great tech stacks - Mid-size company with Enterprise customers

Cons

When I was there, a lot of M&A with natural shifts. But since acquisition by Dassault, probably more stable.

Pros

Great place for PhD scientists in chemistry and materials science - a good launchpad for for college grads with PhD.

Cons

Company is wrought with politics. The Scietigic (acquisition) folks create a caustic environment and fight against the rest of Accelrys. HR is one of the worst in the industry - very political. The company is hardly growing. Most of the products are not doing well and it is very difficult to grow within the firm. Most people learn at Accelrys and then get better and more senior roles elsewhere Hiring and firing is very subjective - you could be the best at what you do but if HR does not like you, they can get rid of you. I resigned from the firm as I found better opportunities. others were not that lucky.
