Considerate to their emplyees during and after Covid; and work/life balance in general.
Cons
With the company expanding through aquisition each year, some may find it hard to adapt (although I see this as more a Pro than a Con).

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback! We are continually working on ways to best integrate our teams through new acquisitions to make it as smooth of a process as possible. We're very excited to welcome these team members to our #OneAnsys family!
Flexibility with WFH/Hybrid depending on your job/team
Great starting PTO + decent sick/family time
Challenging work
Smart, hard-working co-workers
People work here for decades because it's a great work culture
Cons
It's a software company. Cramming features in at the last minute, and requiring long hours from testing & doc to meet deadlines, is frustrating but not unexpected
Benefits are just OK - lost all of my doctors when they stopped having one local insurance option
If you're in R&D but not an engineer, you are undervalued for bonuses
No upward path if you don't want to manage - eventually you stagnate and have nowhere to go
Agile dev process is challenging for documentation and testing and is not always realistic with big projects
Huge uncertainty after Synopsys buyout - I've had bad experiences with EDA companies undervaluing some jobs in the past (testing/doc] so not feeling any job security at the moment
