Pros

Salary is not very bad. Insurance is average.Some additional benefits like car loan, personal loan. Best in class for a few products, while average in many.

Cons

The major team - which is the layout, CAD and memory engineering team - is hard working team, but most of the good work goes to Mountain View, so a feeling of being unimportant Really a poor structure for few "non-major" teams (mostly the s/w team - from VL) Just too noisy. Lot of gossips, facebooking, shopping and hardly any attention to work. Rude and unhelpful when people have any quarries Support team managers just too interested in discussing their kids, families and husbands. And not any decency for letting people around them work. Poor skills set of all people in these teams People in this team have worked for 5-8 yrs. You would expect them to know the engineering flow by now, but they just act alien to it My advice for someone who got an offer would be to keep away from the above "non-major" teams and their managers. (it is not a place to be). Rest of the teams are fine, but just try for US location (if possible).

Pros

You might get to work with One of the best minds in industry if your lucky & working on overseas projects.. you might get even luckier if you get to work with Stupid managers (So called Technical Managers who are just there to make sure all employees of his team go late everyday,to make sure he calls you on every holiday you take & buzz you around, So that he/she can claim extra points to higher management that his team works hard & bla bla & all credit goes to him/her because he//she make sure you all are screwed properly.., she/he will make sure you are under lot of pressure specially in your first year Or at least by probation period to make sure you work like a dog to get your salary. The CTC which they Offer you Will look extremely good to you When you see the letter BUT BUT it will actually be inflated with lot of craps..., eg: they will add Earned leaves encashement in your CTC.., the PF amount which they claim will be Cut from your salary(Both employee & employer contribution),some snacks amount,car policy etc etc..... You might get attracted with the way HR explains you about benefits & goodies company offer to its employee.., please dont fall in that trap.., goodies & benefits comes with great deal of compromise which they wont reveal while offering you.. Hiring Manager & HR will convince you that kind of work they do here in this location is cutting edge.., you will be trampled a lot with some quality round of interviews & The chat interviews which are just useless but please don't fall in trap again... Development work which they do (as they say) will be just a utter waste of your knowledge & qualification.. India(Noida) site doesn't have any development work which you'r expecting here.. There are some Employees who are in company for 9-12 years (Most of them got in synopsys after acquisition of Nsys & Coware companies which are acquired by synopsys recently) ,, These so called bug fishes wont let you grow.. & will make sure you feel stupid in front of them & will terrorize you that they will fire they will cut your perks,they will make you feel so bad literally that you will either walk out or loose enthu.. , & then they will again start a new hiring process to hire new folks & same story repeats.., Believe me I have seen 4 resignations in one year under same Tech manager (Which holds a team size of 12) they will say if you dont work like this or that. These So called Big Guns who came in synopsys after acquisitions will actually have there own agenda , It is regrettable that Synopsys bases it's hiring decision on employees that apparently have their own agenda and for some reason don't want their team to expand.

Cons

HR teams are not honest.. they will claim lot of things when you are in hiring process but eventually its a waste of time.. Technical Managers have there own agenda & issues who came in from acquisitions from different small companies..(If you are interviewed or going in such a office where Synopsys has been labelled after acquisition from smaller firms ..BEWARE, do a double check).
