      Pros

      It has intelligent engineers to work with. Most of them are open and friendly. The compensation and bonus is competitive in the industry.

      Cons

      As software company, the compensation is not as high as other industry software companies, like Google and facebook. In EDA, it is good. Some groups has a little more political issues than the other.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      lots of smart co-workers; all the EDA tools,licenses, and computing power you could ever ask for; relaxed work environment; good salary and benefits; occasional employee parties/functions to keep people from getting burned out due to spending all of their days in their cubicles; access to free training on Synopsys tools.

      Cons

      long hours; company continually re-organized (at least back in those days); commutes were long due to silicon valley overcrowding.

      Good Work, Great Flexibility, Limited Growth

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Company is a leader in its industry. Good fundamentals and extremely high stability. The work is decent and pressure is not too high for most months in a year. Management provides a lot of flexibility in terms of working hours and location and hence it is a great Company to maintain proper work-life balance.

      Cons

      Limited Growth potential, especially at higher levels. A large percentage of management comprises of technical people who do not understand management or pure management people who don't understand technical issues correctly.
