I was a technical writer here. I dealt with editing and writing the user manuals. I also worked with translators. - Anonymous employee Silvaco Employee Review

Pros

It was very flexible and for a company that size, till recently, it had a family feel to it. With the exception of a few, great people to work with. The difficult people would disappear eventually.

Cons

Did not a get raise or review in many years. It did not allow me to grow in ways that would have been helpful for my career and for the company. Also, the culture has changed to become more clinical, where it's a typical, faceless corporation.

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.
