Cadence Design Systems

Cadence provided the opportunity to work with smartest people in the industry. I had the pleasure of working on some of the most interesting projects. Cadence had a great compensation and benefits package, with bonuses and stock options. Cadence was able to attract some high caliber managers.

The senior leadership was taken by surprise with the economic downturn. Senior leadership decisions were made late, and mainly focused on their front-end products.

The design for manufacturing sectors were completed ignored, and when they finally made commitments in these areas, they were too late to capture the market.

Become more humble and willing to work with customers. Customers have the feeling that Cadence is arrogant.
