Pros

Decent work/life balance. Caltrain pass for long commuters.

Cons

Legacy Technology. No team work. No respect for people from diverse culture. Manager is a control-freak, who wants absolute control over his product, and doesn't want anyone to mess up his perfect code and architecture. Assigns low priority tasks and insults eagerness to learn and grow in the company, as he is the final decision maker.

Pros

Flexible work environment, above average salary

Cons

Company is very unstable after the merger of Ansys with Synopsys. They are going through a massive restructuring, and my entire team is being replaced by automation and overseas outsourcing.
