Pros

Flexible hours, comfortable office environment, casual dress code, free coffee, great benefits, friendly co-workers & managers, and diverse on site holiday parties. They try to encourage a fun work atmosphere. On Fortunes Top 100 best companies to work for, two years in a row!!

Cons

Occasional lay offs to streamline departments, which increases work load for others. Not much room for growth or advancement.

Pros

Flexible hours are nice. Working with the latest technologies and with some good people makes the work environment better.

Cons

Lack of growth potential in non-San Jose offices. The office building itself is dated, it looks like nothing has been done to it in years and its true.

Pros

Cadence is on a great upward swing to the right. Solid leadership is driving Operational excellence into the organization. It is great to be part of a company that is passionate about what they are doing. Cadence was recently was recognized as a Fortune 500 great place to work. I see why everyday. Great people, great culture, and great technology. The Cadence leadership team continues to work on improving benefits for employees including five days off a year to volunteer in community. We also have recently added those nice to haves like espresso machines, healthy snacks and regular company events. Today we had an impressive Halloween party for employees and their families.

Cons

Not much. It would be nice if the EV charging was free. I can charge for free in public garages in Palo Alto, so I know Cadence can do the same.
