The CEO is not able to rein in these political hacks in spite of all of recent failures. Read employee reviews and ratings on Glassdoor to decide if Synopsys is right for you. All finger pointing and no one takes responsibilities. Glassdoor has 2,472 Synopsys reviews submitted anonymously by Synopsys employees. Lots of politics between different units, field, CAE, marketing and R&D. That tells something about 13K+ employee, $2B+ revenue company. Even though Synopsys has 13K+ employees, hardly any one knows about synopsys even in the Bay Area, except that they would have seen the sign while driving on Hwy 237. There are only two companies, Synopsys and Cadence, not much opportunities due to lack of competition. EDA is a dying space from career growth. And then they want to compete with the Facebooks and the Googles of the world for top talent!! No on site amenities, except crappy gyms. Health plans are a joke with high premium

Talk of hypocrisy and good corporate neighbors. Synopsys blocked LinkedIn from using Synopsys parking lot between two of their buildings! LinkedIn had to build a special long walkway so their employees can access their two buildings. (Nasdaq: SNPS) is the Silicon to Software partner for innovative companies developing the electronic products and software applications we rely on every day. Countless Synopsys people walk between Bldg 8 and Bldg 1/2 many times a day via the LinkedIn parking lot. Synopsys will include final financial statements for the second quarter fiscal year 2021 in its quarterly report on Form 10-Q to be filed by June 10, 2021. Synopsys's put a badge access gate in between. LinkedIn bought the building between two Synopsys buildings. Not many companies do it for *security* reasons. Common you can't have security protection against gmail or google drive. Employees believed the reasoning because all news sites, FaceBook was still accessible. The reason given was it was security issue and not productivity. Like they blocked all mail (gmail etc) and data sharing sites (google drive, dropbox) etc. Company just tries to make working life hell for employees. I don't have statistics, but Synopsys has very high %, if not the most, 20+ year tenured people. These roles are all filled by long timers, who lack vision and they are sticking around because they can't get job outside. But more than that just imagine would you want the risk of being fired at critical junctures of your life, when you need 2-3 weeks of relaxed work load?

Would not be surprised if a lawsuit is coming. In recent layoffs, they targeted people who had informed they are having babies, just so that they can save on maternal/paternal leave! I am sure that this is illegal.
