Synopsys reviews

The culture is very political, and most of leaders seem to be simply career managing instead of actually trying to move the needle. Promotions are few and far between, so the people that stick around are in it for a good, stable salary, but aren’t great talent. The painfully slow and unnecessarily complicated processes ingrained in the EDA business are also applied to their software business, creating unneeded frustration and just about zero agility. If this doesn’t change fast, the perceived competitive edge will disappear. The leadership team in the software group (SIG) has no focus whatsoever so nothing actually gets done.
