Pros

It is #1 in EDA industry now and seems expanding its market-share at the expense of Cadence and Magma. EDA is pretty small, so either work for the big guy or go to some small start-ups. Right now big guy is Synopsys.

Cons

Politics always for big company. Unless you are in the circle of a small core group or someone higher level supports you, it is hard to get recognition. Job can be pretty boring as well.

Pros

Flexible work environment, above average salary

Cons

Company is very unstable after the merger of Ansys with Synopsys. They are going through a massive restructuring, and my entire team is being replaced by automation and overseas outsourcing.
