Women Empowerment in Tech: A Synopsis Journey

Hello, there! Welcome to our riveting journey of empowering women in the tech industry. My journey began at Synopsis, where, starting from a junior position, I evolved into a senior level professional; thanks to an inclusive environment that encouraged learning and development.

The Heart of Innovation

At Synopsis, we engineer technologies that craft our smart future. Being at the heart of smart everything, for over 35 years, we have fostered innovation in diverse markets ranging from the Internet of Things (IoT) and self-driving cars to smart wearables and medical devices.Striving for quality and performance, we provide professional services in secure financial services, machine learning, and computer vision.

Our versatile abilities have positioned us as number one in the EDA market. Besides boasting the largest IP portfolio, we are esteemed leaders in application security testing, as per the Gardner report, for six consecutive years. Our global presence spans 30 countries with approximately 19,000 employees.

Our Culture and Values

At Synopsis, we believe that our accomplishments rest upon our core values of Integrity, Execution Excellence, Leadership, and Passion. These values guide us toward a smarter future. To continually inspire progress, we incorporate a 'Yes, if' mindset, which bolsters the belief that there's always a way to make things possible.

Commitment to Inclusion and Diversity

Our mission of inclusion and diversity aims to inspire innovation, promote equity, and empower all our employees. This commitment rests on three principal pillars: Connect, Innovate, and Grow.

  • Connect: We foster a professional environment based on inclusion, respect, trust, mutual understanding, and authenticity.
  • Innovate: At Synopsis, we channel different viewpoints and ideas into new-fangled approaches.
  • Grow: Internal growth is nurtured by investing in employee talents.

Our special emphasis on nurturing female talents in the tech industry molds a diverse workplace in the organization.

Our Global Programs

We extend our efforts across different geographical regions to attract and empower top professionals worldwide through several professional workshops. A few of our well-established programs include:

  • Inclusive leadership: Encourages a non-discriminative working environment.
  • Unconscious biases and diversity: Raises awareness about the subtle prejudices in the workplace.
  • Coaching women to lead: Aims at helping women breakthrough professional barriers and occupy leadership positions.

Reverse Mentorship: A New Concept

We recently developed an innovative program called 'Reverse Mentorship,' where emerging female leaders mentor established male leaders. This idea intends to encourage a change in mindset and foster an inclusive and diverse work environment, pushing all professionals regardless of their gender, to continually challenge themselves and evolve.

Striving for More Female Leaders Through Networking

Building an environment conducive to the growth of women in leadership roles often begins with creating a strong network. Under the "Women in Leadership" program, we hold peer coaching sessions where professional women share their challenges and learning experiences, creating a network of mutual support and encouragement.

Helping Girls Go Engineering

We aspire to empower women not only within Synopsis but beyond. The "Girls Go Engineering" program targets ambitious girls pursuing disciplines in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM). The program is backed by both financial scholarships and professional development opportunities such as attendance at technology conferences, mentorship, and potential internships at Synopsis.

Conclusion

Despite the significant strides we have made in creating diverse opportunities and fostering women's growth in tech, we are fully aware that there is always room for more improvement. If you proactively support women's empowerment in tech and wish to contribute to our journey, we would be thrilled to welcome you at Synopsis. Feel free to check out our job openings here.
