1. Work life balance 2. No micromanagement 3. Anytime come and go (work needs to be done) 4. Snacks are provided

If Company performs bad your hike cycle gets extended by 6 months and variable pay is reduce to 40-60%. If Company make good Profit nothing is shared with the employees. 4. Project bonus is not given , looks like all the manager and lead eats all, engineers are not given anything.. if lucky amazon coupon will be given. 5. Favouritism works here ( in few teams all managers are telugu and they prefer only telugu guy to join).

Pros

The company is full of nice people and there is lots of opportunity to learn. Great industry and SYnopsys is a clear leader.

Cons

There has been some recent instability, but that is probably to be expected after making such a huge acquisition.
