      Market leader but an okay place to work. EDA industry's best days are long gone

      Pros

      Benefits are pretty good, though they are now in downward trend for last few years. You get to work on real high-tech and challening stuff and get to see technology trends and ideas which will be in consumer hands few years from now. Company focused on stock price growth, let's see how it works out.

      Cons

      Company is becoming very miserly and stingy. 1% raises (after 3 years of freeze) on the year where we beat our goals and revenue targets handsomely shows where the focus is (yeah,, top guys get the cream). 25 years celeberation: a few glasses of wine, cheap party-hats and glasses from orientaltradingcompany.com ! Very top-heavy.

      Pros

      World class upper management with consistent focus on customer satisfaction and core business has made Synopsys the #1 EDA company of the World. The leadership duo of Chi Foon Chan and Art de Geus is a row model for executive teams everywhere as far as operational efficiency, product vision, and high standard of ethics goes.

      Cons

      1) Some middle managers could improve as far as people skills goes. 2) EDA software architecture paradigm is becoming a bit archane - too focused on (C/C++/Tcl). 3) EDA as a sector has been stagnant for the past 10 years and has little prospect of growth 4) Art should expand his guitar musical repertoire :-)
