Pros

- Great WLB - Great leaders (CEOs) - Stable and growing company - Solid products - One can stay here for a long time and make an impact - Stocks growing at a steady pace

Cons

- Less than industry pay - Really unqualified manager can bring bad culture driving dedicated and smart team members out (saw 6 smart teamplayers leaving in last 1 year). Now they are at great companies. Synopsys loss. - Less challenging work at times as the company has steady set of customers - Limited career growth (unless you become friends with your group leader) - Top-down culture

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”
