Pros

- Great company to join out of college to learn the latest technologies in the EDA field. - If you end up supporting one of their bug customers you will learn a lot also it's a good way to establish ties with the customers for future employment in case anything happens. - Benefits are ok but not the best.

Cons

- Limited to no career growth beyond a certain level. - HR can do a better job - Top heavy, need some house cleaning to make space for promotions. - Some favoritism and double standards in terms of promotions (geography, customer, flight risk). - Some managers/directors/VPs need training on how to manage people and develop some emotional intelligence and empathy. - Better distribution for RSUs to motivate everyone rather than only top performers.

Pros

The company is pretty big, so, I can only tell about my team which is part of SIG division. Work life balance is pretty good and all team mates and managers are pretty nice people. Good for people who have small kids and can't devote to the work more than standard 8 hours per day.

Cons

Don't expect fast promotion. If your work hard and show good results it will be approximately one level up every 2-2.5 years. For developers there are 6 levels, starting from Software Engineer 1. The last level is Senior Stuff Software Engineer.

Pros

Good welfare, good culture, and work flexibility. Work remote is very common even before the pademic.

Cons

You can expect a heavy workload; not enough resources happens all the time; you also need to work overtime very often.
