Pros

Cadence pays well in Industry- for very mundane work. Cadence gives excellent stock options and health benefits. Office locations are good and facilities are excellent in house.

Cons

Cadence patent committees are very poorly organized- better to file patents once once leaves Cadence. Line Managers rarely know what type of work is coming down the line. Cadence experience is not at all very valuable in other companies- it is mostly customer support and engagements and will teach you nothing other than tool skills. Cadence is very unsupportive of employees trying to study even on their own time. Stock price has been below $20 for 4 years - no chance of recovery. Far trails the industry peers in perception.

Pros

Good infrastructure and great culture. You can get plenty of resources to enhance your skills. Processes are laid down clearly and followed as well. Every individual is treated with respect and there is equality. Recognition of work is done appropriately.

Cons

In some areas, the "aggression" is missing, which can lead to complacency. Budgets are extremely tight generally, and this can be stifling in many respects. Salaries used to be ahead of the industry at one time, but that is no longer true.
