Pros
Used to be a great place to work but no longer after carve out from Synopsys.
Cons
Since the PE acquisition, layoffs have been frequent and job security is low across the board. Not just in the US but globally. No team feels safe today as we never know when its your turn to leave. That insecurity is creating a stressed & guarded culture. Passive aggressive behavior is common everywhere(and I really mean it) which kills any motivation to collaborate with others. You will also learn fast that surviving is treated as success. Raising ideas or pushing for change isn't rewarded and it's often not welcome at all. Ultimately it would be treated as an objection to the board. If you're looking for a place to grow an innovative mindset this isn't it. The company's response to the AI market shift has been sluggish. Competitors are sprinting to adapt while Black Duck is jogging on a 100m track. Overall I wouldn't recommend joining.
