Cadence (NASDAQ: CDNS) today announced it has been named number 15 on the 2016 list of the World’s Best Multinational Workplaces according to global research and consulting firm Great Place to Work® and Fortune magazine.

The ranking is a result of the company’s global achievements, appearing in Great Place to Work lists in Canada, Greater China, France, Germany, India, Ireland, Korea, Poland, the United Kingdom and the United States. Cadence moved up from number 21 on the list in 2015.

“I’m very proud that Cadence has been ranked as a World’s Best Multinational Workplace for the second year in a row,” said Lip-Bu Tan, Cadence president and CEO. “I am so enthusiastic about our strong company culture, which carries across every office around the globe. The people at Cadence are an important strategic differentiator driving innovation, customer commitment and ultimately our business success.”

Consistently across the globe, employees say they are proud to work at Cadence for the camaraderie they enjoy with their coworkers and because they appreciate the impact of the work they do.

Great Place to Work research shows the number of organizations around the world named as a Best Workplace—or that have met the minimum standard of a great workplace—has almost doubled since 2011. Roughly 2200 workplaces employing roughly 6.1 million people achieved that distinction in 2011.
