Pros

Stable, mandatory shutdowns and forced vacations good for work-life balance, products compete in duopoly environment with high profit margins, good pay packages, generous benefits and 401K.

Cons

Too much focus on cost-cutting, not enough compute resources to get job done, finance-driven top management, engineering executive influence is not strong. Bureaucratic blockages due to long-tenured employees. Departments compete so opportunities for synergies are few.

Pros

Decent pay. Very knowledgeable colleagues. Very good scope to improve domain centric knowledge with new technologies related to EDA. Excellent food.

Cons

Except pay, not much focus on employee engagement and benefits. R&D and PV teams are generally in different geographic locations, which delays the feedback loop.
