Pros

I was a part of a great team and everyone of us was doing everything to support, help any other member of the team. My manager was VERY interesting man, so I was enjoying our conversation. He always tries to adding me to tasks which probably are interesting for me.

Cons

In Synopsys is hard to innovate something to development/QA process, even if your advice/solution can help other people to work more productive. Also most part of staff is 50+ yrs old. And they are behind of progress in CS and not always competent. But there is another HUGE problem: salary. Salary grows extremely slow. Even if you was very productive in past year. That's why many juniors and mids leave Synopsys after 1-2 yrs.

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”
