Pros

Nice and talented people to work with. Good work-life balance. Job security is good because of it's dominant position in the market.

Cons

EDA itself is kind of a niche market. Not much good opportunities for career advancement.

Pros

If you want a CEO that specializes is tanking the stock firing engineers, getting the company hijacked by private equity, and cheating employees out of their bonuses using magic company performance math, this is the company for you.

Cons

The company’s greatest “pros” are also its greatest “cons”
