Pros

-Leader in EDA software industry -Good spacious office with many facilities like gym, cafeteria -Slow but steady growth for more than 10 years -Good work life balance

Cons
  • Compensation is average in context of product companies
  • Big learning curve as it requires lots of EDA domain knowledge
  • EDA domain is a niche domain and it is not easy to move out
  • No formal group change policy if you don't like product or manager
Advice to Management

-There should be a formal group change policy like our competitor Synopsys, where current manager has say only on notice period if there is agreement between employee and new manager
