      Good engineering driven company to work for

      Pros

      Synopsys is a very ethical company and treats employees and customers well for the most part. The pay scales are quite good and the work environment is very engineering driven, which is a huge plus for R&D Engineers and CAEs. There are lots opportunities to grow and become a technical expert in your chosen areas of expertise. Politics is quite minimal compared to other mid to large size companies.

      Cons

      The EDA industry is quite mature and opportunities for growth in the industry have to be quite conservative. So if you prefer being in a high growth industry this may not be your cup of tea.

      Business Outlook

      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.
