Pros

Its a full-time job with (poor) benefits

Cons

- Bonuses are set by manager which can result in extreme favoritism - Annual layoffs mean that employees are always stressed out - Found out after I left and found work elsewhere just how poorly I was being paid. With six months I had a 25%+ raise. And a significantly better bonus.

Pros

Flexible work environment, above average salary

Cons

Company is very unstable after the merger of Ansys with Synopsys. They are going through a massive restructuring, and my entire team is being replaced by automation and overseas outsourcing.
