I'm not seeing the same level of employee retention, respect or overall job satisfaction moving forward after the post-merger with SNPS.
The other sad truth was the latest RIF targeted folks that had been with Ansys for 10 plus years marking them redundant and expensive talent.
Ansys was a solid company that treated their employees with respect and dignity. They wanted their employees to successful financially and career-wise.
I bet moving forward that directors and above will be the ones getting RSUs and higher salaries planing for more RIFs while everyone that does the day-to-day work suffer or pushed out.
