Pros

1. Company is good. Nice workplace. There is no politics as such. 2. Very cordial, informal work place. Work environment is quiet cool. mostly young crowd. 3. Work is very good. Quiet competitive work. 4. Ppl are good, intelligent, & very competitive 5. Their product SpyGlass is an industry standard. 6. Very nice company for freshers for their early years & gaining knowledge. Good freshers have been given new projects, which wont be seen in many companies 7. Worktime is very flexible & managers (atleast mine) was very supportive.

Cons

1. Apart from SpyGlass, other products have not worked. There is high dependence on their core products, which is mainly their bread & butter product. It has survived due to not many products in their work area. But as of late, few similar product offering are their in market. However, SpyGlass has maintained its position so far. 2. Though company work on cutting-edge & state-of-art technology, there is sometimes pressure of delivering to customers, because of which quality is sometime low. 3. Company is stable for many years, but have not been able to cross the barrier to reach big league. Their plans for IPO have not been achieved from many years. 4. Salary is bit lower than other competitors in EDA domain 5. Company is last years is seeing some slump (not in terms of sales) in overall quality. 6. Attrition rate is bit high, especially in lower staff. whereas many seniors have sticked to company for many years, bcos of which there is big force of manager/director workforce.

Pros

Atrenta is still a startup. Hence, there is chance to stand out from the crowd. Plus, you will have the satisfaction of knowing that you are developing something that is useful to semiconductor engineers.

Cons

In recent years the firm has become risk averse. It seems that the management has to show yearly revenue increases to investors. Which means that the work environment now prefers individuals who will tow the line and not rock the boat. If you believe in "if it ain't broken, don't fix it" dictum, then you would fit in in Atrenta. If not, then Atrenta of today could be a bit frustrating. It really is a pity because Atrenta wasn't always like this.
