      Pros

      Benefits are good, most of the people you work with want to do a good job. Explaining CDNS's products are fun to the non-technical. Pay is mostly same for Silicon Valley but can differ once out of the area. A significant % of employees can work total/partially from home.

      Cons

      My BU is mgmt top heavy so there is very limited to NO promotional growth. I've been doing mostly the same thing for 8 years so very little in horizontal growth. There are some very poor managers in place while other very capable manager sit and are under utilized.

      Pros

      One of the top names in the industry. Good benefits package.

      Cons

      No information sharing between parts of the company. Hard to find any job related information. Not following best industry practice, tons of legacy code, slow to upgrade/refactor. No incentives to work better, no company wide events, no identity with the company. Each group fight the same problems already solved in other groups. Hard to move between groups, easier to get job in another company instead of raise/promotion. No clear career path, no separation of technical/management ladders. Many honorary titles, people of no impact.
