Cadence Design Systems Employee Reviews for Anonymous Employee

"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."

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

"Decent company in non-growth EDA industry."

"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!"

"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 is a great employer."

"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."
