      Pros

      Smart co-workers, Interesting work and the ability to come up with your own ideas and run with them. (As long as it doesn't require budget) Excellent FTO and work-life balance (Manager dependent). Good exercise (work out) culture. People run, yoga classes....etc.

      Cons

      Middle management (Directors) are way too comfortable (stuck) in their positions, so they don't take any chances or innovate. All innovation comes from the bottom up. Groups are encouraged NOT to work together even in the same business unit. Good luck getting cooperation from another business unit.

      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.
