      Pros

      The people who work at Synopsys are some of the smartest and forward-thinking individuals in the industry. They care about their employees and have a lot to offer from a personal growth, career growth, and financial growth perspective. Chi-Foon (CEO) is awesome. Extremely smart, energetic, and innovative individual to have leading the company.

      Cons

      It's really a matter of preference, but it's such a large company so at times you can feel like you're just a number and dont always tangibly see how you're affecting the growth of the overall business.

      Challenging problems, good culture

      Pros

      I’ve been at Synopsys for a few years, and it’s a job that I continue to enjoy. We’re solving some challenging engineering problems and this creates plenty of opportunity to learn and grow. The financial health of the company is good, and it continues to enjoy solid and steady growth. This means job security and some room for advancement (but don’t expect to go from intern to principal engineer in 18 months!). A big plus for me is that we’re solving problems that benefit everyone— the business model isn’t built on monetizing personal data or on advertising revenue. The SF office is a great location.

      Cons

      Pay is overall fair although the company could be less stingy with equity. (This would align everyone’s incentives.)

      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)
