Pros

Large corporate presence. Good infrastructure. Decent benefits. Good compensation. Decent software technology. There are many good things about working at Cadence. From director on down, the management has been stable and the technical employees are without peers.

Cons

One of the hardest things to get used to is how the business is run by the quarter. Bad business decisions are made to make current closing numbers look good. Those bad deals taken then impact business behavior in the future.
