      Pros

      World class upper management with consistent focus on customer satisfaction and core business has made Synopsys the #1 EDA company of the World. The leadership duo of Chi Foon Chan and Art de Geus is a row model for executive teams everywhere as far as operational efficiency, product vision, and high standard of ethics goes.

      Cons

      1) Some middle managers could improve as far as people skills goes. 2) EDA software architecture paradigm is becoming a bit archane - too focused on (C/C++/Tcl). 3) EDA as a sector has been stagnant for the past 10 years and has little prospect of growth 4) Art should expand his guitar musical repertoire :-)

      Mosity, a Great Experience

      Pros

      Some of the best and smartest people I've worked with. Usually, management seems to be pretty savvy and company is stable, with predictable results and some upside potential. Leadership working to expand offerings in a declining industry (EDA).

      Cons

      The Magma acquisition appears to have been mishandled, and this led to several people being laid off. I hope this is not a harbinger of things to come for Synopsys, but it is worrisome. Also: it seems that most of the layoffs came from pre-merger Synopsys employees, not from Magma employees. This certainly runs counter to the norm (if there is a norm for this, these days).
