Good company to work for

Pros

Highly technical environment. Colleagues are very nice and competent. Remote work and flexible hours are allowed. Pay depends on performance and can vary from decent to very high. Opportunity to work in a global setting with people from different cultures depending on the project. Also the company is doing really well currently (stock quadrupled during last 4 years).

Cons

This is a big company, so there is bureaucracy and cumbersome processes that can be frustrating. The tools are a bit oldish, although there has been some effort to update some of them recently. There are lots of ongoing projects and sometimes it may feel like you are competing with other teams within the same company. Some managers will make sure their projects/initiatives go first, even if it does not necessarily serves the company and the customers.

Pros

The work is challenging yet well paced so we are not expected to spend 12 hrs a day at work. Most people in my group work between 8-10 hrs a day 90% of the year and our group is Synopsys' biggest source of revenue so I'm sure we're not outliers! The compensation is decent if you had a competing offer to negotiate with before accepting the offer. It's a stable company and the management at the top knows fully well what they're into and what the industry trends are and is well equipped for change!

Cons

It's a stable environment with a relatively older crowd of employees (avg age might be 40?) so the culture isn't as fun and dynamic as other companies like Facebook or Google.
