      Pros

      The pay scale for technical writers was good in the U.S. compared to other similar companies. There was ample time available for personal emergencies.

      Cons

      The primary consideration for management in the technical writing arena is cost reduction, so U.S. based writers were summarily laid off and the jobs were reopened in India.

      Pros

      Great People and products (some are still inductry leaders)

      Cons

      Poor Executive management -focusing on cutbacks, rather than investing in devlopment, so when the economy turnsaround, company is ready. Since many layoffs, remaining people work every evening, weekend and shutdowns More jobs going offshore Quality is no longer a priority

      Maintenance mode, low innovation, big management

      Pros

      The electronic design automation domain is complex, hence there are deep algorithmic challenges in most tasks.

      Cons

      High-level management does not seem to be clueful, engineers not given enough respect, lower pay than competitors, unfairness in promotions, company seems to be doing worse than competitors, excessive politics, mid-level management discourages most things except maintenance-mode bug-fixing stuff, poor parity between different products in promotions and pay. All imho.
