RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at Mentor Graphics full-time (More than 5 years)
Pros
An engineering company that cares about quality and looks to hire competent engineers that are also good people to work with.
Cons
Not all managers are created equal; not all teams are as happy as they should be. Look for team culture in addition to corporate culture.
Advice to Management
Use exit interviews to identify teams that have opportunity to improve leadership. Do leadership training when you promote someone to management, such as from development. Many also have great personalities and a knack for leadership... not all.
