      Pros

      Synopsys is a very well run company that continues to find ways to grow. I have been with the company through some economic downturns and feel like the senior management will make the right decisions to keep the company going for the long run. The atmosphere is not as stressful as other companies I have worked for, which is a very big positive. The company is demanding and there is pressure to deliver but it is not overbearing.

      Cons

      Due to the nature of the EDA business, it is difficult to move from one group to another. Each group has very specific expertise requirements that make it hard to jump from one team to another. If you have been in a position for a while and would like a new and different challenge, this is a negative.

      Pros

      Good work culture and great for NCGs to get started and learn about chip design flow and related tools and methodologies in the few initial years.

      Cons

      They want to hire young talent from the industry but, at the same time want to pay lowest salary based on the industry standards. Once you're there 2-3 years, your growth will start stalling.

      Pros

      CEO and executive staff walk their talk on integrity; they manage cash well so can acquire key technologies during downturns. they have grown into software integrity (security) and this is huge growth arm for future, plus it can be applied to core software offerings. Strong financial performance and stock growth.

      Cons

      Leadership initiatives are not driven effectively as they could be past division general managers into actual staff priorities. "silo" mentality and financial structure blocks cross-pollination. For SEG at least, we have become a "slow follower" on new technologies. 'Big-company-itis"
