Toxic environment, Control freak managers, HRs poor/unprofessional behavior, no defined process for anything(everything is verbal). Every once in a while they self-proclaim to be a 'great place to work'(which is a belief with no facts and don't even dare to ask question), because the moment you do so or disagree based on the facts you will see the true picture. Every-time you apply for leaves they guilt trip you for this, even they will make you uncomfortable during sick leaves which shows their mental toxicity. Managers will use one-to-one meetings to take their frustration out specially if you are not acting like a puppet(don't ever disagree), bending the knee is a must. If you even dare to show that you are confident of your skill they will start speaking offensively and taunting you in front of the team. Some individuals are stuck here for years and have been made managers, perhaps mental stability & maturity(along with professionalism) are not the criteria to be a manager here and HRs are just rubber stamp, so don't expect anything from them, they are robots with the buttons: ("listen", "ignore", "forget"), they are in the company to facilitate events..nothing more. Company's zero tolerance to bullying, harassment, retaliation means they don't let it come out(specially on company's record/system), since it's never on the record so count will stay at zero. This bubble will burst, if anyone can hear the discussion between manager/HR with employee(One can reach out to me at my email-id(just google search "harassment at cadence design system") to hear such conversations or see their response/action screenshots ), I can show you evidence of how mental harassment is done in this company. It will be a huge embarrassment for the Organization(who claim to have a great work culture) and eye opener for top leadership, who are totally ignorant about this, trusting the corrupt minded HRs judgement. One can see & hear the words and tone of voice used by a manager in the company, a person who has been in the company for the years. And according to HR, such immature, unprofessional and unstable behavior is justified. If a person who has been in the company for years and do not value or respect the company's policy/culture then either the work culture is fake or few individuals are allowed to go beyond professional boundaries to violate company's policy. I never imagined I will ever write such thing about any of my employer but "Cadence Design System" is the worst company I have ever worked for, because my manger created a toxic(mentally stressful & disrespectful) environment for me and company policy allowed it.
