• The company runs a defined internships pathway for students and recent graduates, with stated intern benefits like holiday pay and “real world work experience and research opportunities.”
• Synopsys explicitly promotes internships and co-op placements as early-career entry points across multiple career areas, rather than limiting juniors to a single funnel.
• The company continues to advertise semester-based co-ops with full-time hours, which is a practical option for students who need longer placements than a summer internship.

‍

• The company publishes an interview FAQ that sets expectations on interview length, including a ~30-minute phone screen and 45–60 minutes per formal interviewer.
• Synopsys job postings commonly include a “Hiring Journey” outline from apply through onboarding, which reduces ambiguity for early-career candidates.
• The company includes an explicit accommodations prompt in interview guidance, but Synopsys does not consistently publish timelines, scoring criteria, or feedback norms for entry-level candidates.

‍

• The company describes early-career support in concrete terms, including personalized mentorship and networking opportunities for interns and co-ops.
• Synopsys backs learning beyond onboarding with formal benefits like tuition reimbursement for eligible employees, plus on-demand learning and leadership development in the broader benefits offering.
• The company runs location-based training and internship initiatives in some regions (such as student working groups tied to industry-style projects), which adds hands-on learning pathways outside standard internships.

‍

• The company positions internships as paid and highlights “competitive salary” and holiday pay for interns, which sets a floor of basic fairness for students.
• Synopsys provides evidence of stable total rewards in postings through benefits language (health, wellness, financial benefits) and mentions eligibility for bonus and equity on some student roles.
• The company’s public pay transparency is inconsistent because many postings defer exact numbers to recruiters, and a publicly reported restructuring with layoffs creates some near-term uncertainty even when severance is offered.

‍

• The company has strong intern sentiment signals in public reviews, including very high ratings from intern and technical-intern reviewers, which suggests many early-career hires have a good experience.
• Synopsys has had recent, widely reported workforce reductions tied to a restructuring plan, which can disrupt team continuity and internal mobility for juniors in affected groups.
• The company does not publish early-career outcomes like intern-to-offer rates, typical time-to-promotion for graduate hires, or early-tenure retention, which limits confidence about consistent progression across locations and teams.
