      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.

      Pros

      -Company truly believes in work/life balance ethic for its employees. -Synopsys has one of the most professional and respectful workforce I've ever seen. - The benefits offered to employees while not great but pretty competitive. - Synopsys has a classy management team. Communication is clear and the people are honest. One would never expect any shady behavior from the Synopsys management team. -Company also believes in and promote excellent customer service, for both internal and external customers.

      Cons

      Technology is boring. Company is not innovative. Growth is only achieved by adding market shares from acquisitions. Thus there are not a lot of career opportunities at Synopsys.

      Great company in shrinking market

      Senior product marketing manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great Company with an interesting set of products. In spite of being in a highly competitive industry with price being the primary competitive tool, Synopsys manages to do well because it has a good set of engineers and good customer support. Most groups have a decent set of folks who are amicable and professional at their work. Having bought a lot of technology, there are several people who are from start-ups and have plenty of experience in getting successful products to market. Makes it an enriching work experience.

      Cons

      Need to be well connected with the management. At the least, time served in the company is more important than talent
