The most hostile and arrogant place ever...

Pros

Maybe work life balance. Literally that’s it.

Cons

Dunno how to start it. But basically the principal for employees are the more seniority they get, the tremendous arrogance and rudeness they will equip with them. Most senior people just simply bully on people who has lower ranks or less tenure. These people commit the code without going any code reviews. But they enforce tediously and even ridiculously code reviews on less senior people. They will challenge people to use “change” instead of “modify” in code comments. Also, these whole bunch of senior people won’t permit you to express your opinions. In your day-to-day life you will hear something like this “what you’re saying makes no sense at all, do what I tell you”. If you ever have any different opinions, they will literally yell at you and leave the meeting or team chat. And this engineer process is pretty pre-historic. They even don’t a mature CI/CD process. Rel People even don’t know what Jenkins is. This is just a sweet shop a whole bunch of senior arrogances enjoy bullying less senior ones and failing compliances, code reviews, quality checks and everything.

Pros

I joined Cadence in September 2022 as Principal Software Enginner and it is all happy and good vibes till date. I find myself in a place where I work and my ideas/feedbacks are taken properly by upper management. Cadence provides an excellent work life balance. Being a father of a new born baby and having joined this organization recently, I can surely confirm that it does provide perfect work life balance. I also see people around me have sense of satisfaction and they look and sound satisfy with the job and profile. Cadence certainly is a "Great Place to Work" and I suggest any job seeker to at least give a try by working here.

Cons

It is still my early days/months in Cadence so nothing to mention here for now.

Pros

Attempts to meet the most modern requirements.

Cons

1. Too low salaries, 3-4 times lower than that of employees in the USA. No pay raise in the last two years since Cadence acquired Numeca. The salary level is equivalent to 60% of the Belgian average for eligible positions in IT. Despite inflation of about 15%, no salary increase is foreseen. If the company remained Belgian, salaries would have to be indexed to inflation. But since the company was bought by Cadence the salary was not indexed. 2. Lack of career growth.
