      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Work is very interesting and technically challenging. Exposure to huge code-base and lot of industry and domain-specific knowledge.

      Cons

      It is a top-heavy company, the higher layers of management are very crowded, growth is pretty slow, company is reactive based on your putting papers/declaring intent to leave for promotion/raise, not proactive.

      Great company run by well-respected leaders

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Synopsys is run by a very good no-nonsense, prudent leadership. Over the years, company has moved significantly beyond EDA and successfully ventured into multiple areas that has fueled its growth. The quality of people is fabulous - with a large proportion of people with MS or higher degrees. The quality of work is generally very good and intellectually stimulating.

      Cons

      Synopsys largely plays in a niche field with 3 players. The university research in this field has dried up significantly. This has limited the number of startups. It has been rather difficult to attract young talent from top notch institutes.
