Pros

Cadence has very talented people and many of the teams work well together; It just depends on the manager you get. The Be One campaign is great and is moving the company in the right direction. They have fair pay and benefits.

Cons

Too many shutdowns and constant RIF's have caused low moral. I believe there are still several leaders in the company that manage by fear and have their own agenda instead of doing what is in the best interest of the business. Too many jobs going to India and China.
