      SNPS was quite stable workplace before but now everything is not predictable

      Pros

      SNPS is a good place to start a career or before going to retirement. Here you have a chance to meet quite good professionals, and learn many spheres related to new technologies at once. Also, there is family (parents', spouse, kids <21yo) health insurance.

      Cons

      Most of the time, the onboarding process is not organised; you should find and learn all materials by yourself (this doesn't apply to all teams). Sometimes there is a toxic atmosphere and toxic competition between employees, especially between 2 different sites. Slow position or salary rise. Recently, there was a huge layoff.

      Pros

      Nothing with Sassine taking over as CEO. It was only good till Aart was the leading. Sassine just belives in selling and self advertising. Some others i can mention: 1. Car purchase program 2. A cafetaria is opening soon, but dont know how it would be. 3. Health insurance with self topup.

      Cons

      1. Increase in work with decrease in employees per team. Management thinks Cursor or copilot can solve all their problems. 2. No RSU, increments or perks now. Just empty promises, trickeries, layoffs and lies from management. 3. All good things like loan programs have stopped. 4. Whether company does good or bad, employee benefits will be cut down. 5. Management wants quality code but fails to enable such environment. 6. Recently layoffs.
