Pros

The CEO has turned Cadence around in the past 4 years in business growth, company culture and competitiveness in the market place. The culture is such that I look forward to go to work.

Cons

The senior.and middle management ( practically all male except for the HR branch and some sales execs.) do not recognize women force talent. Cadence needs to move to the modern era and recognize that women can do the technology centric jobs just as well.

Pros

Great benefits including bonuses & stock options Most of the customers were great and very interesting Flexible - but long - working hours.

Cons

Development was far from agile and the technology often seemed to lag that of the competitors. Acquired companies seems to be bogged down to the point of frustration and failure. Words of wisdom from HR upon joining "...we shoot the messengers here. Survivors don't rock the boat ..." says a lot about the culture. Too many levels of over paid management that didn't deliver. But become a member of the elite club and one can skate along with poor performance for a long period.
