Cadence Design Systems Employee Job Reviews in the United States

"Overall, the company tries hard to make it comparable to the younger companies, like Google or Facebook, but some units are having a tough time inspiring that culture. The CEO is great, very humble, as are his immediate staff. Some of the issues are with those who are a bit stuck in time, for instance, terminology of PowerPoint slides, decks...they still use "Foils" from the old IBM days."

"Cadence Design Systems is the leading EDA software manufacturer. I worked in the Technical Field Sales area. It is a great place to stay at the heart of IC design. Their customers range from small (Triune Systems) to very large (Intel, ARM, Apple, Freescale). Their key to success is to build a great rapport with the customer and help guide them to the most optimal path to produce Integrated Circuits (IC). The sales tools that they employ are SalesForce, SAP, and Target Account Selling. This allows them to look for and build a Win-Win scenario for them and their customers."

"I did the job for 8 years, it was a good job. Too bad the management had to lie about things to get their own way. I ended up resigning to get out of the place. Those managers, they all left under a cloud later."

"I've worked at Cadence for over 10 years."

"I have worked for Cadence since 2003. It has definitely going through a rebirth over the last five years, since the current CEO has been investing in other non-EDA areas. Kudos to his leadership!"

"Decent company in non-growth EDA industry."

"Overall a good company that I have enjoyed spending the summer with."

"I have worked for Cadence for almost 2 years. It's a good company having people with strong technical backgrounds. Work-life balance is good."

"Great company with growth opportunity. Lots of politics at mid management level."

"I have worked for here for over six years. They are disorganized and management is dishonest."

"Great company to learn from. Stable company with major market share in the EDA space, Work culture is a bit stale but improving. Compensation is good if you are experienced. Slow growth generally."

"I worked for Cadence McShane Construction for a couple of years. I enjoyed the work and the people there. I only have positives to say about them but now it is my turn. I must focus on my future, not my past."

"Good company ... relaxed environemnt"

"I’ve worked with Cadence over the summer and they had strong family traits as a company. They focused mainly on schools and a couple retiring homes. Overall as a company they are on a hiring freeze and have had a major decrease in staffing. Still a great team and company to be around."

"There is no living wage. The amount of work for this position and the time it takes to commute is disappointing because the compensation doesn't match the time, effort or experience that so many employees work for."
