Pros

Pay is not like a typical Tech company. Pay is on conservative side. Was an employee of Ansys before acquisition. Job was stable that was the upside. Also, Ansys gave opportunity for Mechanical Engineers like me to work as a developer without having a strong CS background.

Cons

The future at Synopsys after acquisition looks shaky. There is no job security anymore.
