"Cadence Design Systems is a pretty good company. Compensation and benefits were good. Layoff package very generous. The thing I most disliked was the management structure. There was no correlation between job title and job responsibilities. Advancement based more on who you knew than how good a job you did."

"Management is based in Denver and is outward focused. Management does not have integrity. They are not interested in input from employees. They tell customers what they want to hear but do not back up what was promised or support employees. Every week is a new crisis."
