Intelligent, fun people doing great work that nobody knows about

Business Outlook

Pros

Very sharp people; plenty of very interesting and challenging problems to tackle; fantastic work-life balance; totally flexible hours; lots of free food and great nights out. Pay is reasonable. Well run company; excellent streamlined IT support.

Cons

Synopsys use ancient custom-built technologies leading to too much reinventing the wheel; hiring policy values intelligence and PhD qualifications over SW development competency leading to poor SW design, bizarrely over-complicated architecture, vast code duplication and endless consistency issues. Management do not get it, no matter how many times you tell them. Office location is awful. Promotion is frustratingly opaque.

Business Outlook

Pros

- Good work-life balance - Good benefits - Visionary CEO (... but is losing charm slowly).

Cons

- Company is not growing as such. Growth in earning is purely by acquiring new companies. - No company growth => No career growth. - Too much people stuck at mid-level so not much room for growth. - Poor mid-level management. - 401(k) matching is $1500/year.
