      Pros

      Stable Work can be interesting and challenging Very capable and competent peer group-employees and managers are very high quality folks! Work environment is pretty good. (Not spectacular - we could use a little more "fun" factor) The bonuses pay pretty well consistently The company works hard not to manage budgets with constant and deep headcount cuts Very customer oriented and driven!

      Cons

      Too conservative about some things; not a risk-taking company; too much of "this is how we've always done it" or " we've already tried that (10 years ago) and it didn't work" Take too long to make decisions Lack of growth in the sector is affecting career mobility of younger workers - and there is a lot of very long time employees who are unlikely to leave and try something new

      Pros

      Senior management takes a very good long-term view of the company and the industry. They take good responsibility for maintaining the computer infrastructure and the office facilities. Although much of the headcount growth is off-shore, they do not do widespread transfers of jobs from the US to off-shore (as their competitor Cadence was doing around 2004-2009). The company is well-positioned as the biggest EDA company. Employee turnover is much lower than many other Silicon Valley companies.

      Cons

      Most of the employees are mid-career or senior career. There's not a lot of employees in their 20's.

      Pros

      Good technology company with a sound management and leadership at helm. People are bright and nice to work with. Most of the time managers are flexible as long as work gets done.

      Cons

      Synopsys and the EDA industry itself is trying to reinvent itself in terms of creating a more profitable business model. Till a more profitable model is invented, growth is going to be an issue.
