Pros

Work life balance is at its best at Synopsys. You also get to work on extremely challenging problems. Great for someone with a PhD in Electrical Engineering who wants to continue to work in the domain of VLSI CAD. They are the leading company in EDA industry and there is solid job stability. Base salaries are competitive and bonuses are reliably distributed end of every year.

Cons

Aging company with aging employees, very stagnant EDA industry with a very limited market cap, implying no room for scalability and growth. Benefits are minimalistic - no stocks for employees below a very senior level. Health benefit plan is very frugal with high out-of-pocket payment. No free food and no glamorous perks that are becoming so common in the Bay Area these days.
