Pros

Cool products. Good people. Incredible breath and depth of product offerings. Strong customer base.

Cons

The senior staff make about 50x more in stock than they do with their salary, so everything is about the stock price. Due to that, you can have high single digit organic growth and a 48% net operating margin, but still, no one is happy. Headquarters has piped in "white noise" due to the open environment to mask hearing other conversations. Some find it annoying. Some get noise cancelling headsets to wear while working. Poor cloud strategy.

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
