So thankful to have this opportunity.
Pros
1. My entire team is experienced, well organized and care deeply about the product and the needs of the customers. 2. My mentors have been more than obliging and very approachable. 3. I was provided with a lot of guidance in terms of understanding the tools employed, the development cycle, the expected (high) standards, and everything in between. 4. There is abundant documentation and various online classes available on the internal wikis to come to pace with the technology. 5. The gratifying IT services make life easier. 6. The work done here is making a difference and shaping the electronic industry and that is a fulfilling feeling. I could not have been more thrilled to have started my career at Cadence Design Systems. I am positive that I will learn a lot along the way and make substantial contributions here.
Cons
The office is at located on a hill and for the few people without cars, to trek up every morning can be a tad bit painful. No cafeteria or close by (walking distance) eating joints.
