Pros

The work is challenging yet well paced so we are not expected to spend 12 hrs a day at work. Most people in my group work between 8-10 hrs a day 90% of the year and our group is Synopsys' biggest source of revenue so I'm sure we're not outliers! The compensation is decent if you had a competing offer to negotiate with before accepting the offer. It's a stable company and the management at the top knows fully well what they're into and what the industry trends are and is well equipped for change!

Cons

It's a stable environment with a relatively older crowd of employees (avg age might be 40?) so the culture isn't as fun and dynamic as other companies like Facebook or Google.

Pros

If you want a CEO that specializes is tanking the stock firing engineers, getting the company hijacked by private equity, and cheating employees out of their bonuses using magic company performance math, this is the company for you.

Cons

The company’s greatest “pros” are also its greatest “cons”
