Pros

See , If you can crack any other companies interview.., If you'r are from Product domain background you will seriously make yourself disappointed after joining Synopsys (Noida location) Pros.. Good Work in Some teams.. Old Brats in Overseas Synopsys Office are one of the best in Industry..(Mark my words Synopsys Office employees.., In recent past there are some mergers in synopsys from diffrent small companies , I am not talking about employees of those companies..as they dont fall in these categories.. look out Cons section for that)..

Cons

Cons.. No proper people management.. Human resource teams are not aligned for Synopsys as a whole in NCR location.., Which is most irritating. Employees who are merged in Synopsys from other small mergers Specially Coware or Nsys etc... are taking the brand value of Synopsys as granted...,they don't come up with the standards or ethics ,culture which synopsys is brings in..,these employees who were in there small mergers company & brings in an experience of so called 10-15 years actually will not allow new employees to grow & don't help in bring out the best in them.., as they feel insecure of there positions, Most of them are underdog with no sense of work ethics or professionalism. Imagine your future strings in hand of people who are insecure of there positions & always run to save there own chair instead of cultivating knowledge & ethics.. Extremely Poor management of work. Most of the work is Test framework & Setting configuration management scripts, etc.. is done at these Noida locations, there is very least amount of development work that too happens in very specific team with Only 1-2 members.., So please don't dream to get a Cutting Edge development work.., Warning in advance.. Your Compensation Letter will be very tempting Or the way the HR coordinates with you during your final Offer letter release will look tempting to you but please don't fall in trap.., it will be a utter waste , Sooner you realize it better you will be .., Later you realize it more damage you cause yourself. Incompetent managers, no training, no morality Typical hypocracy is style of management. No reverse feedback. Manager can decide anything and say So to you.. & to HR to damage you'r feedback. No appreciation for work..Compared to any Standard Product Company, Lots of politics..(Specially in Merger Synopsys Arms like Coware, NSys, VL etc..), Make sure if you get a offer from one of these So called merger companies.. please take a good investigation before joining. In all miserable miserable work place. If you have worked in any of US based MNC please don't expect the same work culture/ethics.

Stable, but stagnant. Weak middle-level management.

Pros

Stability is the greatest strength of the company Nice work environment in terms of peers and relationship between peers Allows for a work-life balance Good higher-level management Learning opportunities

Cons

Very(!) poor performance evaluations system - yearly review results strongly depend on your relationship with your direct manager and seniority (and not actual performance, input, job excellence, types of tasks and job done). (=>) Limited opportunities for growth. A big part of this is due to weak middle-level management, seeking for "yes-people" (vs innovators), using old-style bureaucratic means (vs motivation tools). To sum up: If you are seeking for a stable environment, where you will have time to learn and grow, without expecting much from it - it's an OK place for you. If you have many years' experience and are a highly competitive, innovative high-performer - your enthusiasm might be unappreciated and destroyed- find a better place.
