Solidworks and a lot of CAD software is just a GIANT amalgamation of the original software and the work of all of the tiny companies they keep acquiring (basically whosoever built a plugin/competitor for their stuff).

It's most likely so poorly set up that I finch considering working in that domain now.

Source: I've had friends who've worked there. Background: we studied computational engineering, but I got a non-domain software job. Sometimes I feel I learnt more being away from that sort of work.
