      Best of the big EDA companies, but could still be better.

      Senior applications engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Synopsys is a well-managed, stable, financially healthy company. Excellent benefits package, esp. vacation time. Salaries are competitive compared to semiconductor design houses. Synopsys is the market leader overall, and is doing significantly better than the other major EDA companies. Employees are treated with respect and given latitude to make their own decisions about how to use their time.

      Cons

      The company is very much focused on the bottom line and pleasing shareholders. To this end, they are getting stingy with their employees. Pay raises are small if existent at all. Health insurance premiums are steep. More staff is needed in order to allow employees to do excel at their jobs. Compensation is better at other EDA companies. The EDA industry in general is not doing well.

      A good EDA company to work for

      Senior r&d engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      One of major EDA leaders, latestest EDA technology, has EDA whole flow which other small companies hard to compete. Has customers of major semicondutor manufacturing companies. Customer supports are very strong. Working style are flexiable and you may spend time to think more about technology instead of busy with routine job. There are meetings, but not so many and can be handled and it is definitely much less than big companies.

      Cons

      Team spirit cross teams is very low and is hard to share information between departments. For same kind of work, each team will have its own development and it affect productivites significantly.
