Cadence Design Systems

• Starting salary is good if you are a BTech grad from a premier institute.
• Team members are good and friendly, if you are lucky.
• The leave policy is good.
• The food is good, though it is paid.
• If your manager is good, you will have a good time.

Do not join if you want to remain in soft developer field, you'll be working on age old technologies and will remain restricted only to your tool- work is all about electronics tools, which might not interest a soft professional- most of the managers are here from their birth I guess, they know literally nothing about the outside world tech, and would expect the same out of you- micromanaging to the core and WFH is a curse here, they will call you anytime after office hours/weekends and expect you to work - no flexibility for a team change/ internal openings- manager will overcommit with unrealistic deadlines and make engineers overwork, expect to work from 8am - 10pm, 7 days a week- no growth rate, mundane cadence specific work- managers have too much power regarding your hike- transport and food is not free

• Start taking anonymous manager reviews from team members, all major technical firms are doing this
• Make internal team switching possible
