Ansys acquisition by Synopsys

Hello everybody. I’m an R&D Verification Engineer at Ansys working for a team based in France. As a lot of you may already know, Ansys got recently acquired by Synopsys. I was just wondering if there’s a possibility of layoffs in this regard? Especially since testers are often some of the first people to go? Is there anybody here who’s company was acquired by Synopsys in the past? If yes, what’s your experience of that? And should I start looking for another job right now instead of having faith in the incoming management? In general, Ansys has been extremely stable as an employer for me.#engineering #software #swe #Synopsys #Ansys

In general , Won’t it be hard for them to layoff in France ?

Harder, definitely. However, it is not impossible either. There have been too many labour « reforms » that essentially loosened workers protection.
