Business Outlook

Pros

The company is quite generous in giving out bonus when the company is having profit. Growth opportunity is there if you work hard.

Cons

I can't think of anything really bad about the company. If there is any downside, it is about the whole EDA industry. The market for EDA tools is not growing much, compared with other areas like the internet.
