      If EDA is the profession one chooses, Synopsys is the only choice.

      Pros

      It is stable and comfortable company and perhaps the only EDA company with job security.

      Cons

      It is not a good company for employees that are ambitious and are looking for great career. The industry itself is shrinking and senior employees make sure their position is not getting jeopardized. Hence it's not what you deliver that matters, but how you make the system work for you is what really matters.

      Great high tech company to work for in the valley

      Pros

      Synopsys is on the cutting edge of silicon valley technology. Its a great people friendly culture that has many opportunities for growth. There are many bright people here to work for, given that it is in the EDA industry which means that you need a masters of PhD in EE to understand what the advanced software that they design does. (Designs computer chips is a good basic overview of what the software is used for). I would highly recommend working here, as I have not met anyone who is unhappy and looking for a job somewhere else. Become a synopsoid!

      Cons

      I would say the only downside is that it is very hard to understand the product that synopsys makes, from a business perspective. Everything is extremely complicated and must be explained by an engineer if you are to understand what is going on. This can make it hard to really see what is going on when you are doing the business model, because these companies that you are working with make products that are near impossible to understand. Even though there are cheat sheets provided to sum up what is going on, it is still very complicated and confusing at times.
