Cadence Design Systems Reviews

Most middle managers are quite biased and downright incompetent, which directly impacts the career growth and learning of their reports; To give you a personal anecdote, we recently prototyped a system for patenting. Once all was said and done, my manager adds a coworker's name to the patent document, saying, "She had worked on it previously". I had no access to any prior work from her and had to build the system from scratch. She then goes on to say, "If she had the time, she could have worked on it. So we're adding her name to it out of respect and solidarity". This is blatant favouritism. By that logic, I could go to the Olympic Games Committee and say, "If I had the time, I could have been an Olympic athlete. But I didn't, so out of respect and solidarity, give me a gold medal." Any resistance is met with the threat of a PIP (which is basically a way to phase you out of your job, as you train your replacement). Need I say more? They'll be all smiles and sweetness until you ask for what you deserve. Do not work here, if you're even remotely sensitive or ethical.

Horrible management. Do not care about the employees at all. Only thing that matters is beating wallstreet forecasts. Manage by fear philosophy. Always telling people they are not doing good enough. Always looking to make employees do multiple jobs and work exceedingly long hours. But don't want to reward them for doing it. Good people are let go every year purely to cut salaries. Looking to replace experienced people with new college grads. Will catch up with them someday. A very short sited company, don't plan past the current quarter or year.
