What is the hiring process like at Synopsys?

- Nice office. - Great colleagues and social. - Decent benefits. - Perhaps good-enough as a short first job to break into the cyber-security market. - You learn quite a lot about the free open-source software industry. - You get a good overview of software vulnerabilities but with nothing in-depth.

- After the initial learning curve the vast majority of the job becomes extremely repetitive. Wouldn't do this job for more than a year. - The hiring stage leads you to believe it's going to be a highly technical job with a lot of technical skills advancement, while in reality you spend 99% of your time writing fairly basic cyber security advisories and combing through commit history on GitHub. - No salary review/raise. - Mostly learning non-marketable skills.

Interview process is seamless and amazing work culture with accelerated growth. Management support exemplified.

Good pay, work life balance

Doesn't have own cafeteria. Team get together happens less. Hiring process not transparent. Volunteer work is not much. Medical and leave policy not so good.

SNPS is a good place to start a career or before going to retirement. Here you have a chance to meet quite good professionals, and learn many spheres related to new technologies at once. Also, there is family (parents', spouse, kids <21yo) health insurance.

Most of the time, the onboarding process is not organised; you should find and learn all materials by yourself (this doesn't apply to all teams). Sometimes there is a toxic atmosphere and toxic competition between employees, especially between 2 different sites. Slow position or salary rise. Recently, there was a huge layoff.

good company to work for, lots of growth in the industry

Team is allergic to hiring more people
