Pros

Synopsys is the leader in EDA and has good technology. Some great people work there and people tend to stay.

Cons

High expectations with harsh punishment for failure mean few are willing to take risks or try new approaches. Much of the management are dinosaurs or are ex-engineers that are not suited to non-technical jobs. Arrogance is a systemic problem.

Pros

Flexible work environment, above average salary

Cons

Company is very unstable after the merger of Ansys with Synopsys. They are going through a massive restructuring, and my entire team is being replaced by automation and overseas outsourcing.
