Cadence Nominated for the 3InCites "Best Place to Work 2025" Award

Cadence has been nominated for the 3DInCites "Best Place to Work" award for 2025! This recognition underscores our ongoing commitment to creating an empowering workplace that inspires our employees to deliver their best, support their growth, and make a meaningful impact on the world.

The Significance of the 3DInCites Awards

Since 2013, the 3DInCites Best Place to Work Award has celebrated companies that foster outstanding work environments where innovation, collaboration, employee well-being, and professional growth are paramount, creating spaces where employees thrive personally and professionally. Finalists for these awards demonstrate exceptional commitment to pushing the boundaries of technology, promoting diversity, developing strong workplace cultures, and driving the future of the semiconductor industry.

The winner of the Best Place to Work category will be decided via an online vote from January 8 to January 31, 2025. The award ceremony is scheduled for March 4, 2025, during the IMAPS Device Packaging Conference in Phoenix, Arizona.

Why Cadence Stands Out

At Cadence, we believe a company is only as strong as its employees. This nomination reflects the value of our One Cadence—One Team culture, which empowers over 11,000 team members in more than 25 countries.

Here's a glimpse of what makes Cadence an exceptional workplace:

• Empowering Careers: From career-focused programs like our Cadence Women Conferences to peer-to-peer recognition for outstanding contributions, we invest in our people. Nearly three-quarters of employees received acknowledgment for exceeding expectations in 2023.
• Comprehensive Benefits: We offer competitive compensation, a robust bonus program, a stock purchase plan, and opportunities for continuous professional development.
• Community Impact: Through the Cadence Giving Foundation, we're making a difference in the communities we serve. Notable initiatives include a $20 million commitment to Fem.AI, Cadence's gender equity campaign aimed at advancing women in tech, and a virtual power purchase agreement to finance a U.S. solar farm to further our renewable energy transition.

A Vision Rooted in Innovation and Inclusion

Our nomination also aligns with our company's values of fostering innovation and inclusivity. Programs like Fem.AI exemplify our drive to close gender equity gaps in STEM and artificial intelligence while preparing the next generation for leadership and technical excellence. Whether breaking new ground in tech or supporting our communities, Cadence is dedicated to making a lasting impact across industries and in people's lives.
