Experience of an undergrad at Synopsys - ASIC Digital Design Engineer Synopsys Employee Review

1. I joined DDRPHY IP Verification team, Synopsys in Jan 2020 while I was still in 8th semester of my under-graduation. 2. Few specific highlights :- a. An Intern is exposed to as much level of information as any other employee in the team. b. There is no hierarchy that needs to be followed while asking something. For example, If I need to ask something from my manager’s manager, I can directly ask without going through my manager. c. The exposure is very wide, working with people across the globe. The above points helps a lot in easing out the initial learning experience for undergrads. 3. In July, 2020, I was converted to a full time employee. The virtual onboarding process was very smooth, they were separate virtual sessions from the HR team, facilities team, payroll team etc.. and these sessions were right from the scratch which helped freshers like me grasp most of the things. a. I was delivered the new hire laptop at my door step when I was working from my hometown. b. Employees are given flexibility to buy specific WFH Equipment as well which can be reimbursed to help in the process of working from home.
