Pros

The company high level management team has great leadership with clear vision Shifting from eda to software proactively

Cons

This industry itself is shrinking. Our semiconductor customers are consolidating. As you could see, avago squired lsi and Broadcom. Intel is close to deal with altera. All Japan semiconductor companies are sinking.

Pros

- work from home - ok salary, but not great - free coffee - nothing else is free, think vending machines for snacks like at the hospital

Cons

Worst Management I've seen in the industry 1. no strategy or vision for next generation products; only short term revenue matters 2. no career growth or development; forget about getting a promotion, haven't had a raise since I started 3. Nepotism: they like to hire relatives 3. insanely siloed business environment; adjacent groups do not talk to one another nor do they cooperate - One Synopsys is a joke! 4. if you think you'll have an opportunity to get trained up on the latest CAD tools, think again. There are very limited training opportunities for employees and what does exist is pretty superficial and hence useless.

Pros

The tech is at the forefront of semiconductor device manufacturing. Ability to learn more and get more skills in the field of semiconductor manufacturing. Nice, relaxed work environment. Good salary, a very pleasant campus.

Cons

Product's source code is messed up IMO - they chose a wrong language (Python) for the product that is supposed to have high performance. Now they are struggling with performance issues. Computer code is poorly organized, not modular, doesn't have high performance, at least in my project. It is quite difficult to work with. They don't care about coding culture. Attention is sharply focused on sales and revenues. If you are used to nicely organized projects (in terms of tech) - you will struggle.
