Pros

There are many nice people to work with at Cadence. It has fast pace business. Also the business grows fast at Cadence. The cafeteria at Cadence is also pretty good. The food served there is very diversified.

Cons

The compensation at Cadence is pretty low compared at similar companies. It looks like to me Cadence refuses to increase the salary of their veteran employees. In other words, the people has been with Cadence the longest time usually have lower salary than the new hired, even though the new hired has lower title.
