Comments on: Cadence Eats Humble Pie http://www.chipdesignmag.com/payne/2008/08/15/cadence-eats-humble-pie/ From an EDA marketing insider Thu, 08 Jan 2009 20:42:23 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6 By: Daniel http://www.chipdesignmag.com/payne/2008/08/15/cadence-eats-humble-pie/#comment-239 Daniel Fri, 17 Oct 2008 16:54:40 +0000 http://www.chipdesignmag.com/payne/?p=26#comment-239 Cooley loves consulting and blogging, so he will stay put for the time. Cadence was clearly shocked at the quickness of the resignation, otherwise they would've had their internal replacement ready to go on the same day. Having a committee run the company is another poor decision because companies need a single CEO to provide clarity and leadership. Cadence needs to seriously reconsider the total compensation package for all of their executives because they have been paying at least 3-8X what Synopsys, Mentor or Magma are paying for the same job description.
