Great work environment, non-existent benefits
Great work environment, non-existent benefits
The culture in this company is outstanding. A lot of appreciation of engineers, very rational, pragmatic and little process. A bit over-the-top IT, but tolerable. Mental recharge day per month is very appreciated.
Health/dental insurance covers almost nothing. I have never seen a health and dental insurance that is so lousy as at Cadence.
Very disappointed by this, and makes me feel unprotected and anxious.
Get a better health and dental insurance for your employees. The rest is good.
