The group where I work lost 2 people. But I can't tell how many people were laid off by the company.

Was wondering if there is any news about layoffs ??

That was a very strange announcement... announce to wall street before you division, and before a buyer is lined up? What is the real reason they are getting rid if this so quickly? I have seen at least 2 layoffs so far this year, and they have... — read more 

I heard there are some layoffs happening in the North America offices, maybe other locations too. Verification and Implementation AEs are impacted. Not sure if any R&D impacted as well.

I've heard conflicting reports - some people are saying there were layoffs and some claim not only that nobody was laid off but the company is hiring people. I'm not sure what to think anymore...

I've been with Synopsys for a little over five years, and while I truly do enjoy working here, the constant layoffs are taking their toll on me. Since I've been here, we've had a round of layoffs every single year. This has become a pattern, and we... — read more 

Like many of us here at Synopsys, if you’re looking for career growth - you won’t find it. Middle management shows ineptitude regularly and won’t assist you with career advancement. Over all this is a conservative environment, with old school... — read more
