      Peformance evaluations/reviews/appraisals in Synopsys, a BIG BOGUS

      Pros

      -A reasonably stable company -Allows working remotely and flex time -If you are titled "CAE" and you dont perform, be rest assured that you wont be fired. If you are titled "CAE" and are among the performers, be rest assured you will not be rewarded in anyway. All CAEs in Synopsys are put into one big bucket when it comes to performance evaluation

      Cons

      -Peformance evaluations/reviews/appraisals in Synopsys are a BIG BOGUS -opportunities for professional growth and career advancement are extremely extremely limited -There are plenty of folks in our CAE groups who clearly have no work charter, they just come to work browse, chat and go home and the management is perfectly fine with that. -Managerment is clearly looking for yes men. -Sadly, dissenting opinions and people are squashed. Join this company ONLY if you pledge to always agree with your manager -Poor paymaster

      Ad-hoc management, hard work is not recognised

      Pros

      I have been working for Synopsys for 11 years. Company has a very good executive management. work/life balance is pretty decent

      Cons

      Middle management (especially in the CAE side) is poor and stagnant. Most managers are technically competent, but are old school and lack management skills Managers (at least in our group) behave very differently with their management versus with their reports. Disagreement is NOT appreciated. You have to literally suck up to your manager to be in good books. There is not much room for career growth for the CAEs. Lack of recognition for good work is prominent in all groups.
