Pros

- Competitive pay - Experienced co-workers - Not too many meetings

Cons

- Not much opportunity to grow. Relaxed atmosphere allows you to coast. - Not much innovation (some of the workers have been there a long time and are stuck on a specific way of doing things). - Poor management (no accountability, not much transparency, can be inconsistent, lack direction, poor alignment)

Great place to work

Pros

Synopsys has great work life balance, you work hard during the office hours, interact with your colleagues, sales, marketing to focus on goals ( make chips faster, smaller, less power hungry etc ) with no or little offshore teams.

Cons

Management has diversified into software testing/validation as opposed to EDA/CAD tools, so management looking for new growth areas. Maybe this diversification should have been done earlier.
