Pros

- Smartest people you'll ever meet and work with - Excellent work-life balance giving you time to think and develop ideas of your own - You'll learn about how our universe and its various physical aspects can be modeled and simulated within a computer (maybe an overstatement but that is the future trend - a realistic engineering VR environment) - Fun place to work with people from all over the globe, excellent work culture - Lots of Math, Physics, Engineering, and Computer Science! - Satisfactory compensation (for the work-life balance) - Real work is accomplished by most folks with less inclination towards politics and processes - Customer is priority, revenues are high

Cons

-Top-down management approach can cause rigidity issues -Growth is conservative, job openings are rare and only for the best in R&D - Benefits may be below par compared to other technology companies - Career advancement opportunities are limited

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
