      Pros

      -Company truly believes in work/life balance ethic for its employees. -Synopsys has one of the most professional and respectful workforce I've ever seen. - The benefits offered to employees while not great but pretty competitive. - Synopsys has a classy management team. Communication is clear and the people are honest. One would never expect any shady behavior from the Synopsys management team. -Company also believes in and promote excellent customer service, for both internal and external customers.

      Cons

      Technology is boring. Company is not innovative. Growth is only achieved by adding market shares from acquisitions. Thus there are not a lot of career opportunities at Synopsys.

      Great company in shrinking market

      Pros

      Great Company with an interesting set of products. In spite of being in a highly competitive industry with price being the primary competitive tool, Synopsys manages to do well because it has a good set of engineers and good customer support. Most groups have a decent set of folks who are amicable and professional at their work. Having bought a lot of technology, there are several people who are from start-ups and have plenty of experience in getting successful products to market. Makes it an enriching work experience.

      Cons

      Need to be well connected with the management. At the least, time served in the company is more important than talent

      Good engineering driven company to work for

      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.
