Pros

Great learning experiences & industry insight. Opportunities for lateral moves between departments. Good & hardworking colleagues for the most part. Work-life balance and compensation can be great if you have a good manager.

Cons

Below average salaries (particularly for development & shared services). Not many opportunities for career growth. Work-life balance and compensation is not good if you do not have a good manager. No longer a family oriented company; shareholder's bottom line over the years is coming at a cost to the employees who put the company on the map.

Pros

Flexibility with WFH/Hybrid depending on your job/team Great starting PTO + decent sick/family time Challenging work Smart, hard-working co-workers People work here for decades because it's a great work culture

Cons

It's a software company. Cramming features in at the last minute, and requiring long hours from testing & doc to meet deadlines, is frustrating but not unexpected Benefits are just OK - lost all of my doctors when they stopped having one local insurance option If you're in R&D but not an engineer, you are undervalued for bonuses No upward path if you don't want to manage - eventually you stagnate and have nowhere to go Agile dev process is challenging for documentation and testing and is not always realistic with big projects Huge uncertainty after Synopsys buyout - I've had bad experiences with EDA companies undervaluing some jobs in the past (testing/doc] so not feeling any job security at the moment
