Pros

- Timesheets don’t matter. You can enter what you want and get changeability bonus. - repeatable work - no reviews per se. It mostly you working on a project. Very little oversight so you can get by easily. - helpful people

Cons

- software integrity group or SIG overall is bad place to be. - sales keeps pushing products so your work really does not matter. - pay is not that great nor are the benefits - we don’t innovate. Same old testing work that others can do for cheap. - SIG has zero knowledge sharing and no leadership. I was trying to get into the cloud side and the cloud leader left. It’s been a year and they haven’t bothered hiring someone. - we still use old tech and multiple tools that do the same thing. Waste of money. - poor performance is not checked. Anyone and everyone is promoted. Reviews cycles are a joke. - people are leaving in droves due to bad leadership and culture in SIG.

Cutthroat, stressful, not friendly to new hires, no one wants to help

Pros

Financially solid company with good prospects

Cons

Biggest problem is lack of vision. We don't really know the company direction or strategy. On top of that the reputation for being cutthroat is warranted. Hard to know who to trust. Basics like getting information from HR is a nightmare -- no one really wants to help, just want to close the case in as little time as possible. Countless forms. Confusing benefits. Burdensome bureaucracy.

Pros

The people and their dedication to bring the best technically

Cons

Company has grown fast from a niche space EDA software company to a high mid-range software conglomerate with a wealth of great products. From a market standpoint this causes stock analyst to compare Synopsys to other software conglomerates which are in broader non-technical space. This is resulting in growing pain changes as Synopsys transitions from a small software company focused on a high level of technical excellence to a company influenced by market analysis and comparisons
