      Good company in a slow moving industry

      Staff r&d engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Synopsys is a very ethical company and treats employees and customers well for the most part. The pay scales are quite good and the work environment is very engineering driven, which is a huge plus for R&D Engineers and CAEs. There are lots opportunities to grow and become a technical expert in your chosen areas of expertise. Politics is quite minimal compared to other mid to large size companies.

      Cons

      The EDA industry is quite mature and opportunities for growth in the industry have to be quite conservative. So if you prefer being in a high growth industry this may not be your cup of tea.

      Interesting engineering work in a stagnant industry

      Staff engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Nice culture; dynamic, non-monotonous engineering work; open communication; fiscally conservative stable company; EDA market leader; right company size, employees still have a name, not just a number

      Cons

      Slow industry and company growth specially in US sites, senior most positions filled from outside or relocations from international sites rather than promotions from within, no yearly cost of living salary adjustments, no yearly stock awards
