Pros

Exposure to established software projects. Collaborative colleagues who are supportive and knowledgeable.

Cons

Limited Career Advancement: Promotions and raises are infrequent and appear to be based more on tenure than performance. Below-Market Compensation: Salaries have not kept pace with industry standards or inflation, leading to decreased real income over time. Resistance to Innovation: The company culture favors maintaining the status quo over embracing new technologies and processes. Management Challenges: Disjointed management and poor communication among teams lead to confusion and inefficiencies. Workload Expectations: High performance is expected without corresponding support or recognition, leading to burnout.

Pros

Flexibility with WFH/Hybrid depending on your job/team Great starting PTO + decent sick/family time Challenging work Smart, hard-working co-workers People work here for decades because it's a great work culture

Cons

It's a software company. Cramming features in at the last minute, and requiring long hours from testing & doc to meet deadlines, is frustrating but not unexpected Benefits are just OK - lost all of my doctors when they stopped having one local insurance option If you're in R&D but not an engineer, you are undervalued for bonuses No upward path if you don't want to manage - eventually you stagnate and have nowhere to go Agile dev process is challenging for documentation and testing and is not always realistic with big projects Huge uncertainty after Synopsys buyout - I've had bad experiences with EDA companies undervaluing some jobs in the past (testing/doc] so not feeling any job security at the moment
