Business Outlook
Pros
The company has great IP technology, which allows it to sit atop its field. Many of the engineers are earnest and excellent.
Cons
The culture is rotten to its core, especially if you are not an engineer. Synopsys allows nepotism to run rampant -- Much more so than other established tech companies. Many, many people are fired within a couple of months of their start date -- that seems to be the Synopsys way. HR is completely non-existent at Synopsys. While non-engineers are second-class citizens, HR "leaders" are third-class. Unlike any place I have ever seen. The new CEO surrounds himself with "yes men." Seems like a nice man, but not a leader as evidenced by the "circle" he selected. Some real snakes there.
