      Calm, collegial, and conservative

      Pros

      Calm and measured atmosphere; good people, stimulating work, and great benefits! The place is proof that A players aren't always cutthroat, type-A jerks. Very friendly folks, if a bit staid. It also pays very well in an industry, Electronic Design Automation, known for paying pretty well

      Cons

      Very conservative - "consensus driven to a fault" is almost a motto. Many have left to do their own startups in order to advance an idea that that was too "risky" - having sai that , the model seem to be successful, but it may not be for everybody, especially if you are Type-A personality!

      Pros

      Good compensation, brilliant people, a technology leader, a chance to be at the cutting edge of electronic design. Since almost every chip that's produced uses Synopsys software, Synopsys engineers are exposed to tomorrow's problems today. The culture treats employees with respect, and people have the flexibility to get the job done as they see fit. Management is clueful for the most part.

      Cons

      EDA is a tough industry, with limited opportunities for growth. People are being asked to do more with less, pretty much everywhere, and expansion is mainly in the less expensive locations like India and China. Some parts of the company take "customer focused" to a fault, shifting resources to fight fires to the point where it's tough to complete projects.
