Good Company - Anonymous employee CST Computer Simulation Technology Employee Review

Surrounded by intelligent people, very easy and open work environment. As of yet, no hard and fast deadlines but management is always impressed with the speed of my work.

Location puts you in miserable traffic if you don't wake up early. Very self determining so f you aren't driven and don't realize you have to schedule yourself, you may end up bored with nothing to do. I chose to explore in my free time

1. Freedom in work environment 2. Good work-life balance 3. Opportunities to learn from experts and pioneers in numerical EM methods 4. Wide variety and range of industry applications and customers 5. Opportunity to travel for customer visits, exhibitions, workshops, trainings etc. 6. Flat hierarchy without many levels of org structure 7. Responsive R&D team in Germany for quick fixes 8. Nice spacious office without cramped cubicles 9. Small team and easy interaction with colleagues

1. Compensation can be more competitive 2. Very high (but comprehensive coverage) medical insurance costs compared to big companies 3. Very slow response to sponsoring permanent residency for international employees 4. Work from home policy can be more flexible 5. Fewer younger colleagues and hence can be challenging to socialize, but this is improving now.
