      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The overall working environment is comfortable with most of engineers being senior in the field. Company has been very profitable and maintaing a good job security for years.

      Cons

      Compared to the software companies on internet sector, SNPS doesn't grow as fast. The software development cycle and procedure is not as agile as those in internet sector.

      Good company. Plenty of internal politics

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good benefits vacation, free yoga, few/no shutdowns; Top pay (though average salaries are dropping for new offers); Stable org. charts. Would recommend working there (in R&D). C-level Execs there really care about their people.

      Cons

      Lots of politics. I think this is common in EDA however; Stability of org chart also means no upward opportunities unless someone leaves. This contributes to political environment. The company is technically focused - a non-R&D role is not ideal there. Company is moving to vast sea of tiny cubicles with waist-high partitions [yuck].
