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.
