Not like OSIsoft

Pros

- There are good people and good teams that you will get to work with. - One might even argue that they feel a familial connection or close friendship with co-workers. - Most direct managers will do what they can to make you happy.

Cons

- Upper management does not listen to their employees. - Upper management sends out anonymous surveys to seek feedback but does not care about the feedback other than wanting the feedback to be more positive. - Upper management uses demographic data from anonymous surveys to try and get teams and offices to give better scores while simultaneously ignoring feedback provided in those surveys. - Direct managers are not given the power that they need to work with their team members, they are forced to follow the general directives set forth by upper management. - There are people in upper management "whose bad side you don't want to be on". - Require 3 days a week in the office unless you are able to convince upper management that you should be able to work remotely (generally, this comes down to threatening to leave the company). Previously, it was required to come in 1 day per sprint (some teams work on 2 week, some on 3 week), it was then changed to 1 day per week ("as agreed with your manager" even though no such agreement was ever made). - Established a communications committee to try and fix communications issues in the organization and then never took any action based upon feedback.

Avoid at all costs! I wish I was joking

Pros

The only pro about AVEVA is that I don't work there anymore (by choice). When it was OSIsoft and before the company started grooming itself to be sold, while assuring everyone that we would never do that, it was a fantastic place to work. Since then, and especially since AVEVA took over, it's unrecognizable.

Cons

- Toxic culture. You will hate your job because of the red tape you have to put up with. - This is NOT a remote-friendly organization. If you join as a remote employee and decide at any point during your employment to move, you are required to move to a city where the company has an office. - Top-down to a fault. If you are in middle management, you will be fighting an uphill battle for your team(s) on a daily basis, and those above you will not care about anything except getting work out the door at any cost. A higher up in Product has been known to say things like "do the engineers need to take vacations? Can't they work through holidays?" - There's a big difference between getting things done and being productive and slowly eroding your soul. This is the latter. - I am not a disgruntled former employee that was let go for not being a cultural fit. I fought for my teams, tooth and nail. My entire day was routinely filled with meetings that should have been emails where no decisions were made. Pop-up meetings would be dropped on me at 8:30am to go over something that someone was either not happy about or something someone thought was super high priority, both of which were not needed. I and my team suffered severe mental distress because of the changes in the org, and these were very talented people who just wanted to do a good job. If you are looking for a new role at a large company, stay away from AVEVA. You will, I promise you, regret it. There are so many places now that make psychological safety and culture first-class citizens of their orgs. AVEVA does not do this, and never will.

Pros

Good pay if you are a male and older in age

Cons

AVEVA purchased our company, I was not hired by them. My incoming manager told me that I was too young for my job and demoted after having never seen my work. As an exempt employee he expected me to work 60 hours a week, putting my hourly pay only slightly above minimum wage. All positions of power are dominated by men. Women have no hope of equal treatment in the product development team. Our direct management was over 5,000 miles away and demanded direct control over our process, creating a toxic environment where trust eroded and emotions were worn thin.
