Pros

Fine place to work if you need a visa sponsorship or internship experience

Cons

The company has employees write positive reviews on Glassdoor to up their scoring. I'm still dealing with psychological trauma from incidents that occurred a year ago. Executives do a great job sweeping bullying and their mistakes under the rug, and most managers in R&D don't have the skills to manage people. A teammate of mine was strategically set up for failure as a way to get pushed out of the company, which is something managers do often here, usually by getting a team / employee to work against another team / employee, or by intensionally leaving them out of important conversations and work that prevent them from doing their jobs. Another management style the company likes to practice is deception. Our R&D department is one of the worst I've worked in.

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
