Pros
Market rate pay Highly technical colleagues and management Interesting technical challenges in Applications Engineering Great work-life balance Reasonably flexible working hours Improved attempts to boost employee morale with events
Cons
Limited everyday perks for a Silicon Valley software company Limited growth, mainly as an individual contributor Entrenched, older management Lack of rotation program Lack of pay transparency - It's an outdated attitude. Lack of gender diversity Unequal parental leave - Denying equal parental leave to men hurts new fathers and hurts women who are disproportionately burdened with child care. In the same vein.. Lack of child care center, even in HQ. Work can be monotonous if you are not highly driven by technical topics. Not the company's fault. Such is the EDA industry.
