Pros

lots of smart co-workers; all the EDA tools,licenses, and computing power you could ever ask for; relaxed work environment; good salary and benefits; occasional employee parties/functions to keep people from getting burned out due to spending all of their days in their cubicles; access to free training on Synopsys tools.

Cons

long hours; company continually re-organized (at least back in those days); commutes were long due to silicon valley overcrowding.
