Pros

Very sharp people; plenty of very interesting and challenging problems to tackle; fantastic work-life balance; totally flexible hours; lots of free food and great nights out. Pay is reasonable. Well run company; excellent streamlined IT support.

Cons

Synopsys use ancient custom-built technologies leading to too much reinventing the wheel; hiring policy values intelligence and PhD qualifications over SW development competency leading to poor SW design, bizarrely over-complicated architecture, vast code duplication and endless consistency issues. Management do not get it, no matter how many times you tell them. Office location is awful. Promotion is frustratingly opaque.

Pros

Well in this company working exposure is really good. People appreciate and welcome every new idea whether it is coming from a fresher or senior person and one can have really good working experience on latest technology. Working with such great people will really help in understanding things.

Cons

If you are in synopsys keep in mind the work timings they are really in bad shape. You will be ask to achieve tasks in impossible time frames. Your working hours get worst for months that i experienced.
