Poor outlook post-acquisition by Synopsys

Pros

The only pros post-acquisition were applicable if you were in Sales, which received all the attention at the expense of other departments.

Cons

Non-sales departments were neglected and nepotism led to poor managers in their positions for long periods of time.

Pros

Good stability Good benefits Easy commute Good work/life balance

Cons

You won't learn anything if you're looking to advance your career. Most people are here to coast through retirement - average age of the folks being 45+. Limited to no career growth. Old school / conservative way of doing things, mired in processes, bureaucracy and politics.

Pros

job security for average engineers and managers

Cons

Growth by acquisition business model limits career opportunities for existing employees. Management has no interest in developing new products or their employees. It is not a good place for ambitious people.
