Dassault Systemes R&D Manager salaries in India

I'd say I get to work on wayy more technical problems than any of my highly paid friends in Adobe/Atlassian/Microsoft and even Google. Our department has smart people with varying sets of personalities and you'll learn a lot about dealing with different kinds of people. I learnt the importance of good communication in such scenarios. Company doesn't care about your engineering background - most of the company is mechanical/EC/civil engineers writing software and only few of us CS guys, but instead selects people based on problem-solving approach and 'engineering mindset'. I agree with this approach.

Money really is bad. I love *most* of my work but it makes me feel with such pay making a career at this company (or thinking of setting up roots in Pune - buying house/getting married etc) is not at all sustainable. It can be a good job for people who already live/have family in Pune with lesser financial obligations but not so much for non-natives. No matter how smart you are or the ideas you propose - they're squashed down by local management before even going to french counterparts. You'll be explicitly told to generate and share ideas - but when you do, they'll be discarded with poor reasons. It's quite frustrating sometimes. This might depend upon the team, but in my case the french counterparts are not much useful either. They are opaque in communication and not open to receving new proposals. Generally they assign projects to us and that's it - followed by weekly status update meetings.

Initially it was good. Age old technology used, rigid management,pay disparity. Pay scale and hike vary based on your college. No growth opportunity. They should seriously think about employees

Dislikes

Pay scale age old technology rigid management politics You will never get good hike or a good position if you are not from a tier1 college. Try to avoid joining this organization if you want growth and skills

If you are lazy by nature, you will enjoy every bit of your time here. The problem is that you will remain in the same trap, and before you realize it, 5+ years will have already passed because most of the people around you are older and you will slowly start to feel miserable like them. Being older is not a problem but to behave like one, definitely is the one. BASICALLY NOTHING TO LIKE.

Dislikes

1) Salary is really low here. The best part will be to join these idiots and leave within a year or two. You will thank me later. 2) Upper management and HR. They are the worst of all. All uncles and uncle like mentality. HR's are plain stupid coz they are the ones running RnD by offering low salary. You will never interact with them. For issues go to people manager, for salary go to people manager, etc etc, you get the point. 3) Tech they utilise is of no use in the outside world. 4) No employee benefits like sweets and all on Diwali. Calling this a product based company is basically a joke. The yearly gift you get is plain shit and stupid. People have been getting company Tshirt of worst quality with some random brands like ANMOL, FUNTOOSH(I don't remember names actually but you get the point). For Ganesh Chturthi, Diwali you will have to stand in queue to get sweets. Like really??? 5) If you are going to join SOLIDWORKS, you have my blessings. And in Solidworks if you are joining Manual QA team then you need GOD because that team is with Koka Veera Vara. PATHETIC human and pathetic thinking. You will be given appraisal based on how much information you have passed him and how much time you are sitting at your place. Never join SOLIDWORKS coz from top to bottom everything is just hopeless. 6) jiyo chahe maro 3 din tho jana hi padhega in office.
