Pros

SolidWorks Management philosophy: "The most-important thing we do is hire great people." They encourage employees involved in the hiring process to take their role very seriously. Always try to hire the "best" - never settle for the "best available." Everything else, good or bad, derives from hiring decisions. Company is completely committed to the success of their channel partners. A great place to work for channel professionals.

Cons

There are no negative aspects to working here. It's difficult to list any “cons” at all. There is uncertainty about the future being negatively impacted by cultural changes made by the parent company, Dassault Systemes (DS).

Pros

They give you the opportunity to learn a new product and make mistakes along the way.

Cons

To much cronyism - it seems promotions and your ability to suceeed it based on who you know - not what you know. There seems to be be people who have been there too long - they have a belief system built in an old world sense that does not apply to real world modern business practices. The company needs to go back to what made them great - trusting in their people to to the right thing - keep that small company direction while growing in the right way and hiring and retaining the right people.
