Nice place to work but a lot of politics

Pros

Great view across the industry, get to visit lots of different teams across the industry and see which ones would be fun to work for, who is innovating, who is just trying to get the next design out of the door.

Cons

Politics, Cadence is made up of many acquisitions and they don't all integrate well so this leads to competing internal teams. There are too many people not actually contributing but creating a lot of meetings.

Pros

Cadence inculcates a positive open skeptic environment where everything is questioned because questions are encouraged. Strategies are explained as to why the alternatives are better than the original plan. The questions feed discussion, and because everyone’s asking questions, everyone is moving the company forward. No one is judged or reprimanded for his or her ideas, and all ideas are considered equally among team members. Additionally, the individually focused environment offers individuals flexibility to accommodate their work styles. Cadence knows that every works differently to achieve productivity and the the environment recognizes this fact.

Cons

Sometimes the compartmentalized environment does in fact exist, rather than giving individuals flexibility to accelerate within the company, this negative environment inherently forces individuals into silos, closing them off from the rest of the group and forcing them to act as individuals. This generally ruins any chances of achieving a team mentality and leaves team members feeling isolated and resentful.
