Pros

Knowledgeable colleagues in R&D, and decent compensation.

Cons

Cadence is a slow-moving place, where R&D projects take forever to come to fruition (or be killed) and decisions take a long time. Bureaucracy is thick. Communication between product groups and divisions is muddled.

Good benefits and compensation, interesting work, market leader

Cons

Frequent layoffs no matter how the well the company is doing, overpaid execs - almost obscene, quite a lot of politics at the higher levels of management, sales/eps driven
