Pros

The company has great IP technology, which allows it to sit atop its field. Many of the engineers are earnest and excellent.

Cons

The culture is rotten to its core, especially if you are not an engineer. Synopsys allows nepotism to run rampant -- Much more so than other established tech companies. Many, many people are fired within a couple of months of their start date -- that seems to be the Synopsys way. HR is completely non-existent at Synopsys. While non-engineers are second-class citizens, HR "leaders" are third-class. Unlike any place I have ever seen. The new CEO surrounds himself with "yes men." Seems like a nice man, but not a leader as evidenced by the "circle" he selected. Some real snakes there.

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”
