Pros

Tech company with good product. Good pay & benefits.

Cons

Long hours. They do not staff appropriately and often takes many more people to do things because the infrastructure is a mess. A lot of the work requires it be done manually. The company is in denial that IT is a mess and hinders the organization. Hiring freeze in 2021. Culture and values in words but not lived. People are not treated well and there is a lot of stuff that goes on behind peoples backs.

Pros

Flexibility with WFH/Hybrid depending on your job/team Great starting PTO + decent sick/family time Challenging work Smart, hard-working co-workers People work here for decades because it's a great work culture

Cons

It's a software company. Cramming features in at the last minute, and requiring long hours from testing & doc to meet deadlines, is frustrating but not unexpected Benefits are just OK - lost all of my doctors when they stopped having one local insurance option If you're in R&D but not an engineer, you are undervalued for bonuses No upward path if you don't want to manage - eventually you stagnate and have nowhere to go Agile dev process is challenging for documentation and testing and is not always realistic with big projects Huge uncertainty after Synopsys buyout - I've had bad experiences with EDA companies undervaluing some jobs in the past (testing/doc] so not feeling any job security at the moment
