      Cadence is doing OK

      Pros

      Good work life balance for the most part. Friendly and smart people, many of whom have worked in Cadence for many years and know their stuff very well.

      Cons

      The company is in an industry that has been stale for years. New value propositions are difficult. The end result is most R&D are doing maintenance work and bug fixing for very old code, rather than building something new and exciting. Like other EDA companies, the company didn't view itself as a software company for a long time and doesn't have good software practice. The software is not well tested or peer reviewed, is somewhat difficult to work with and can be bug prone. Fixing old bugs often leads to new ones and there are no company-wide enforced procedures to prevent that. Compensation used to be good. Now it is still somewhat around average, but hasn't kept pace with non-EDA software or semi companies that are doing well in the valley in recent years.

      Inefficiently ran for it's size.

      Pros

      Can be relaxing or challenging depending on you want to take it. A very small percentage of people is doing the majority of work (more so than other companies)

      Cons

      Senior management allowed useless/incompetent and/or ineffective managers stick around, which created an inefficient environment and bad examples to other employees.
