Pros

The people that work at Cadence are fantastic and the work environment is good. Lip Bu has been doing a great job as the CEO.

Cons

Somewhat political. Layoffs in bad times, layoffs in good times, layoffs are a part of life at Cadence. It's unfortunate that they kick good talent to the curb without seeing if they could transfer internally.
