Pros

A good place to learn many technologies.

Cons

-moving up the ladder can be really slow -salaries are not competetive, and also not fair amongst employees with same number of years of experience -Huge tendacy to show favoritism by decision makers, which HR does not adequately manage to keep things fair for all. - The Fairness Culture is being changed by Managers from Magma, who have a unfair work culture.

If I were to rank every company that I worked for in 25 years, Synopsys would rank #1

Pros

Rewarding work, Outstanding benefits and salary. Top tier product line. The management cares about it's employees and has developed a work environment that fosters inovation and free thinking. Management is always open to new ideas from employees.

Cons

There is a sense among employees of yearly impending doom. The belief is that your position is only secure for a one year period that ends just before the annual corporate meetings. I often heard it said "Well I got my ticket to the meeting so I must be safe for the next year".

Good company. Plenty of internal politics

Pros

Good benefits vacation, free yoga, few/no shutdowns; Top pay (though average salaries are dropping for new offers); Stable org. charts. Would recommend working there (in R&D). C-level Execs there really care about their people.

Cons

Lots of politics. I think this is common in EDA however; Stability of org chart also means no upward opportunities unless someone leaves. This contributes to political environment. The company is technically focused - a non-R&D role is not ideal there. Company is moving to vast sea of tiny cubicles with waist-high partitions [yuck].
