Pros

Flexible hours, WFH, and smart colleagues.

Cons

There is no work-life balance, no real diversity, and no career growth opportunities in technical roles.

Advice to Management

Cadence is turning into a complete boys club.

Hiring for high-level roles is done through management-friend-circles which is all-men.

HR and Legal have women and they are highlighted at every possible avenue to "show" diversity.

New grad roles and intern roles are mostly filled with women to show diversity and inclusion.

But in senior tech roles (anything beyond T5) hardly any gals!

The ones that are left are harassed to no end.

All benefits provided are cookie-cutter ways to get into "Best places to work for".

Even the gym onsite needs a paid membership!

The one team message does not work between BU's and teams.
