Pros: As a Software Engineer in the EDA software industry, the competitive pay and benefits at Altium are a big draw. I value the learning opportunities on interesting projects and the supportive colleagues. The hybrid work model in San Diego, CA, provides great flexibility, helping with work-life balance.
Cons: The promotion process can sometimes feel a bit slow or unclear, which can impact career growth. While there's flexibility, occasional busy periods could be managed better with improved resource planning. Better communication between departments would also be helpful.
Advice to Management: Focus on creating clearer and more transparent promotion pathways for engineers. Improving inter-departmental communication and resource planning could also lead to a smoother workflow during peak times.
