Good for people 20-30 or 50+ for the rest is the professional degradation - Applications Engineer Cadence Design Systems Employee Review

Work schedule is too flexible, my manager suggested me to work less Very limited potential for professional development, if you have sufficient knowledge, you will be encouraged to focus on some narrow area. This can be good choice for freshers to obtain initial knowledge or for very senior people. For the rest, being a focused specialist creates a significant risk of loosing any career or salary potential in case of lay-off. I would recommend to avoid this company or at least agree with a manager on the exact type of work and career path prior to employment. If you want to take rest for couple of years, this a good choice though.
