Pros

The TCAD team offers challenging technological work and is profitable. All other groups understaffed, behind competition and starved of talent.

Cons

Extreme monitoring of employees, below-market compensation, most product lines severely understaffed and falling behind competition, overall lack of focus, direction and good business sense. Everything is very exaggerated and political. Employees are called "Silvacans".

Pros

Excellent place to learn how software survives without active development. Engineers gain rapid experience in being resource-optimized. Meetings are plentiful; outcomes optional. Ideal if you enjoy watching institutional knowledge evaporate in real time.

Cons

This was never a strong engineering company - just one that burned through people while coasting on aging products. Engineers are treated as disposable, real contributors are pushed out, and institutional knowledge is routinely discarded. What’s left is process, confusion, and churn instead of technical direction. Customers looking for stability, innovation, or long-term support should be cautious and look elsewhere.
