- Current Employee, more than 10 years★★★★★Featured Review
Pros
The people and their dedication to bring the best technically
Cons
Company has grown fast from a niche space EDA software company to a high mid-range software conglomerate with a wealth of great products. From a market standpoint this causes stock analyst to compare Synopsys to other software conglomerates which are in broader non-technical space. This is resulting in growing pain changes as Synopsys transitions from a small software company focused on a high level of technical excellence to a company influenced by market analysis and comparisons

Pros
Good salary, and benefits. Share-based rewards have been really good thanks to great stock performance in recent years.
Cons
Suffers from outcome bias. Different teams focused on avoiding extra work, rather than working together with different teams, to try and achieve best results for customers.

Cons

- Current Employee, more than 3 years★★★★★
Pros
Pay is good and yearly bonus is usually okay. Local office culture is good.
Cons
Lack of career prospectives (no promotions/salary increases for multiple years running). Lack of interesting/challenging work (lots of long term projects). Attrition rate is high amongst consultants. Work is often overscoped for the time allotted, leading to long hours in order to achieve the 'work order'. Yearly feedback surveys are often ignored and no changes are made.
