Estimated reading time: 1 minute

We're proud to be named a 2026 Platinum Employer on the Where You Work Matters List. This recognition reflects our commitment to building high-quality jobs and expanding opportunities for our workforce. Our people are our most important asset, and it's an honor to be recognized for how we are investing in their success.

The Where You Work Matters List, powered by the American Opportunity Index, is an independent rating of how well U.S. employers enable workers to advance in their careers, receive leading wages, and be retained in their roles. Platinum recognition is the highest overall honor and reflects the organization's strength across the categories assessed:

• Early career jobs, which are open to entry-level workers and provide skills and training for internal or external advancement.
• Growth jobs, which provide opportunities to rise internally and externally, especially in firms where leaders are developed from within.
• Stability jobs, which provide leading pay and see strong retention.

In an AI-transforming, low-hire labor market, companies that have cultivated strong talent pipelines will be among the best positioned to thrive. The Where You Work Matters List helps to measure a company's mobility muscle—both overall and by occupation. For platinum firms, it is critical validation that they have built the talent pathways that will be essential for the changes to come. The list is rooted in the fundamental belief that when employers invest in unlocking the full potential of their workers, it's not just workers who do better. Businesses also do better.

Being recognized on the Where You Work Matters list starts with the people who make it matter, and that is all of our employees. This achievement belongs to every person in Cadence's One Team. They show up, contribute, and make this a place worth celebrating. We are so proud of what we have built together, and we are just getting started!
