    Cadence Design Anonymous:   (Past Employee - 2009)

    Pros

    Great People and products (some are still inductry leaders)

    Cons

    Poor Executive management -focusing on cutbacks, rather than investing in devlopment, so when the economy turnsaround, company is ready.
    Since many layoffs, remaining people work every evening, weekend and shutdowns
    More jobs going offshore
    Quality is no longer a priority

    Advice to Senior Management

    Bring in new blood for management positions.
    Make customers number 1 again.
