Cadence Design Systems reviews

Lots of politics. Some coworkers are set in their ways and don't want to change, even if for the better and if directed by management to do so. Unfortunately if you don't pick up on the games quickly, you can find yourself on the losing team before you know it. Your coworkers can be your worst enemy and make your life miserable as they decide whether you're right in their book fairly quickly--and often without your knowing it until the most inopportune time when they really let you know how they feel about you. Your boss will let the customer and your coworkers abuse you if it keeps her from having to address serious internal or external issues. Only after the heat reaches her seat will the boss step in, but by then your goose is cooked with the customer, anyway.

A major restructuring in IT which likely was needed has taken place. The downside is many leading employees have been let go and many remaining strong ones are looking elsewhere. The company culture is rather conservative and is aging. Creativity and new ways of thinking are not the norm. Old school ways of thinking. Minimal embrace of social media.
