      Pros

      The people are the best reason to work for Cadence. Everyone was very supportive and helped each other in the areas I worked with. There was always a great amount of work to be done, but people had a positive attitude and acheived results. The benefits package was very good. Hires started with 3 weeks vacation. There was a matching gifts program. I was proud of the company's annual Stars and Strikes program and how we helped with aid to disasters. The helpdesks did a superb job of supporting requests. The IT knowledgebase was well maintained and answered many straightforward questions.

      Cons

      The technology of some applications and systems was not always current.

      Pros

      Cadence provided the pportunity to work with smartest people in the industry. I had the pleasure of working on some of the most interesting projects. Cadence had a great compensation and Benefits package, with bonuses and stock options. Cadence was able to attract some high caliber managers.

      Cons

      The Senior Leadership was taken by surprise with the economic downturn. Senior leadership decisions were made late, and mainly focused on their front-end products. The Design For Manufacturing sectors were completed ignored, and when they finally made commitments in these areas, they were too late to capture the market.

      Will CDNS decide to be #1, #2 or #3 in EDA?

      Pros

      Before current RIF (12/08) the R&D was exciting and cutting edge.

      Cons

      The company had very little committed direction and support for future (2-4 years out) development and support. There is no strategic vision to be an industry lead, they thrive at 2nd best.
