Pros

Amazing co-workers, benefits, and salary

Cons

Management does not value employees regardless of performance and results Political and silo'd organization Lack of innovation, need to acquire technology to innovate Limited to no growth opportunities Bean counter mentality to boost stock price at the expense of employee work life balance Very political, everyone is looking behind their backs...

Pros

I’ve been at Synopsys for a few years, and it’s a job that I continue to enjoy. We’re solving some challenging engineering problems and this creates plenty of opportunity to learn and grow. The financial health of the company is good, and it continues to enjoy solid and steady growth. This means job security and some room for advancement (but don’t expect to go from intern to principal engineer in 18 months!). A big plus for me is that we’re solving problems that benefit everyone— the business model isn’t built on monetizing personal data or on advertising revenue. The SF office is a great location.

Cons

Pay is overall fair although the company could be less stingy with equity. (This would align everyone’s incentives.)
