Pros

Synopsys has great products and visions. The Founder/CEO is truly the best in the valley, polished and a true visionary. Company is well poised for the next decade as it starts venturing into security software business.

Cons

If you're not in Sales or R&D, you're considered 2nd class or 3rd class citizens in the company. The difference is very obvious in terms of compensations and your career growth path is very limited.

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”
