Pros

Flexible working time Decent salary and benefit, but not much growth Good trainings for fresh graduate Management appreciates employee's contributions

Cons

Not a company for innovation. They did good job on code quality control, but not for a new product. The pace of a new product is different from a matured one in the development cycle. Customer's feedback took a long path from marketing and AEs to RDs. Marketing people don't know what customer really need. Senior managment made big mistake to erode both the company and the EDA industry.
