Pros

I appreciate the flexibility and unlimited vacation policy at Synopsys (if you use it, some people don't for some reason). The company also provides challenging work and mid-level leaders are very smart and are invested in their teams' success.

Cons

Unfortunately, the return to the office policies at Synopsys have been absurd. Some employees are being forced to go to the office to scan their badge even if they are attending an event outside the campus. The company's recent layoffs have also left many employees uncertain about their job security and the direction of the company, besides the fact that the company is growing and doing well financially, which makes me think that the measures if they were not doing good would be very bad for employees. Besides getting a good performance review, many employees (most of them based on people that share those things) got a 0% salary increase, in spite of the unprecedented inflation in US. Finally, some teams at Synopsys have a toxic culture that can be challenging to work in.
