Pros

Nice culture; dynamic, non-monotonous engineering work; open communication; fiscally conservative stable company; EDA market leader; right company size, employees still have a name, not just a number

Cons

Slow industry and company growth specially in US sites, senior most positions filled from outside or relocations from international sites rather than promotions from within, no yearly cost of living salary adjustments, no yearly stock awards
