Pros

Definitely one of the best EDA companies to work for in terms of the quality and nature of work involved Work is generally technically challenging and interesting

Cons

Do not ever join at a junior level... very few growth opportunities Highly dependent on the semi-conductor industry for growth. Does not go down as quickly as the Semiconductor industry, but doesn't bounce back as fast too.

Pros

Excellent people, smart minds, work on the latest technologies, good exposure. Get to interact with all the top notch chip design companies. Good client interaction. Occasional travel. Good management.

Cons

Niche area, stuck in the same industry. Pay is not that great in India. Considering that it is difficult to get people with back-end knowledge they should increase the pay
