Pros
Challenging work, nice work culture, company treats employees well compared to other peers
Cons
Executive Leadership could use some more vision and long-term planning. Focus is mainly on one area whereas the industry is moving to soup-to-nuts solutions.

RecommendsNeutral OutlookApproves of CEOI worked at Mentor Graphics full-time (More than 10 years)
Pros
Excellent benefits, especially health insurance and time off.
Able to work with friendly people. Most folks you deal with in the company are smart and helpful, with only a smattering of grumpy ones.
The company is very transparent, with frequent meetings where everything is laid bare.
For my location, the pay was excellent.Cons
This division of the company always struggled to be in the black, such that it was years and years of investment, then cutbacks, repeating the cycle. You have to assume you will eventually be laid off when working here.
The workload became way too burdensome, and only got worse as layoffs occurred.Mentor Graphics 2018-08-06 10:20 PDT![Mentor Graphics Logo]()

Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookNo opinion of CEOI worked at Mentor Graphics full-time (More than a year)
Pros
Nice campus and offices. Nice coworkers
Cons
Business SOP's are cumbersome and outdated and inefficient. Sales Department doesn't hold sales reps accountable for accuracy on sales documents. They leave it to someone else to clean up their documents to meet the company requirements.
