      Pros

      Cadence provides a good environment which allows you to grow in many Directions. The problems we tackle with our software are interesting, and all who are interested, can be involved. They have good activities to invlove employees, and at times their families.

      Cons

      Communication from upper levels down is poor. It is often difficult to understand the real business driver for projects. This sometimes results in competing initiatives. There are too many VP's with their compartmentalized agendas.

      Extreme technical challenges...but a tough business.

      Pros

      Very smart people. Most people have at least M.S. degrees in Engineering. Top schools. PhDs very common. Average IQ is probably 130+. EDA arguably has the most challenging technical problems of any high-tech industry in the world. Cadence is also generally very good at accommodating telecommuters, flexible work-schedules, etc. Employee Benefits (Health, 401k, Stock plan) are as good or better than most large companies.

      Cons

      Very tough business. Electronics/Semiconductor companies aren't growing, not making much money. Therefore there isn't much money to "trickle-down" to EDA. The big EDA companies are like starving tigers fighting "tooth and claw" in a shrinking jungle. Meanwhile new EDA startups are popping up all the time (a lot of passionate PhDs out there!)
