Good company, but beware of certain business units within!

Pros

Synopsys is undeniably a great performing company, as they are #1 in the EDA tools space. The technical talent they hire is top-notch and it is a very results focused company. CEO is a very motivational speaker and inspires hard work. Working at the MT. View location is probably the best bet to stay involved with numerous opportunities to advance career.

Cons

Certain business units are very unethical in the way they treat some of their people and like to assign blame from the bottom up. It nearly borders on criminal to say the least. Stay away from the VG BU!! IF offered a job working under the CAE directors in this BU, run the other way immediately. Synopsys should do a better job or reining in the way these people in this organization operate. For other BUs, everything my be just fine.

Pros

Leader in their domain, divesting in multiple domains which shows the maturity and business acumen of founding forefather. Overall good working environment, marginal growth compared to peers in the industry. Strong foundation of Integrity and Ethics imbibed from the founder and leading by example

Cons

Depends on the business group one gets hired into, some of the managers provides conducive work environment and opportunities for their team to grow and excel while few don't have any interest for people genuinely performing under him/her. Some of the seniors don't nurture budding young talent considering them as competition for themselves.
