People at ANSYS tend to be friendly, open-minded, and respectful. Employees discuss ideas and ask questions without fear of ridicule. The work at ANSYS is stimulating. Employees are encouraged expand their knowledge of topics they find interesting.
Cons
The pay at ANSYS is lower than many tech companies. For better or worse ANSYS has a culture of frugality. A downside to this aspect of the culture is reluctance to provide resources that would improve efficiency.

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
