Pros

Working at Aldec gives you experience in the EDA industry to work for a more stable and better EDA company. This is not a great place to end up, but is only a great place to start and get exposed.

Cons

- Management has changed over the last 6 months, which led to a majority of the team leaving or being let go - Key management guys were never replaced - causing confusion for everyone in the office. - Engineers reported low salaries, sales team commission was nothing too special. Everyone relied on hitting a quarter goal, but how can you do that with an absent sales team. - Major decisions about companies future isn't shared - Engineers have left for other EDA companies looking for better opportunities - No respect for the sales team, pretty much a telemarketing job.

Pros

Company has gone through many changes since 2013 which was inevitable. Amazing co-workers who are respectful to each other and passionate about their job. Its a small company so you will learn a lot - critical element for young talent. There are not many companies in the world who makes SystemVerilog simulator - Aldec is one of them - so you will be working with cutting edge technology and very smart people. Salary and benefits are good. Amazing work/life balance makes this company less stressful.

Cons

Its a small company so there is a limited vertical growth. Not located in silicon valley - which seems to be the problem for many people.
