Good company. Plenty of internal politics

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].

Pros

The company is stable. Work life balance. The company encourages you to get fit, volunteer, social with coworkers. Nice people to work with. Flexible hours.

Cons

Lack of challenge. Compensation. No cross training (At least I didn't see any in the past 5+ years.) In IT, I don't find bonus.
