Pros

Good company to work for with mature management and people. Flexibility and technocratic culture is a plus. People friendly corporate.

Cons

If you are unlucky and get a bad boss forget about career progression and work/life balance. It is a prevailing norm in India that if your boss doesn't like you he'll keep overloading you with work and set unrealistic expectations. When you are working on one set of tasks they'll ask status on another status of tasks and they'll not listen to any justification. Their talk about quality is also a hypocritical joke, their expectation is to show progress as fast as possible so they can maintain shining badges to their superiors. They are too cowardly to admit that, yet they talk like noble warriors. Some of them are so pathetic that they style themselves with blunt communication while the entire industry in general advocates empathetic communication to bring the best out of employees.

Peformance evaluations/reviews/appraisals in Synopsys, a BIG BOGUS

Pros

-A reasonably stable company -Allows working remotely and flex time -If you are titled "CAE" and you dont perform, be rest assured that you wont be fired. If you are titled "CAE" and are among the performers, be rest assured you will not be rewarded in anyway. All CAEs in Synopsys are put into one big bucket when it comes to performance evaluation

Cons

-Peformance evaluations/reviews/appraisals in Synopsys are a BIG BOGUS -opportunities for professional growth and career advancement are extremely extremely limited -There are plenty of folks in our CAE groups who clearly have no work charter, they just come to work browse, chat and go home and the management is perfectly fine with that. -Managerment is clearly looking for yes men. -Sadly, dissenting opinions and people are squashed. Join this company ONLY if you pledge to always agree with your manager -Poor paymaster
