Pros

I have been working for Synopsys for 11 years. Company has a very good executive management. work/life balance is pretty decent

Cons

Middle management (especially in the CAE side) is poor and stagnant. Most managers are technically competent, but are old school and lack management skills Managers (at least in our group) behave very differently with their management versus with their reports. Disagreement is NOT appreciated. You have to literally suck up to your manager to be in good books. There is not much room for career growth for the CAEs. Lack of recognition for good work is prominent in all groups.

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.
