Pros

Great technology and the industry leader in simulation. Good pay and bonus structure, as well as retention for key employees. Pretty good work/life balance. Recently, management has made a more focused effort to improve diversity in the workforce.

Cons

Very challenging and bespoke technology stack that is like an onion that contains more onions. The company has become very large, and fragmented, which makes it hard to enact change. A tendency to organize functional teams which means every project needs multiple team coordination. Slow to make progress, and slow to adapt to changes in software industry.

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
