Cirrus Logic Employee Reviews about "good benefits"

Pros

-Good benefits -Weekly happy hours -Opportunity to grow -Travel options -CEO is great

Cons

-Questionable practices -Management favoritism -Unable to see the forest for the trees

Pros

Company has good benefits for employees

Cons

Some below standard managers and not recommended for professional growth

Pros

The pay is great. The perks are nice for single people who want to live in the downtown area. Good rewards from upper management and lots of fringe benefits. Easy access downtown to a lot of food joints. Happy hour on Fridays.

Cons

For family guys who don't drink, the perks aren't quite there. Managers need to be trained better. It was literally years between when a manager has said "Good Job", or "Thank-you" even after putting in 16 hour days for a few weeks to meet a deadline. There is a lack of positive feedback. Support from management just isn't there.

Pros

Very engineer-focused company. Great place to work if you are an engineer from South Asia and are early in your career. Also great if you used to work for Crystal Semiconductor before they merged with Cirrus and you have longtime connections to certain managers. Generally treat employees like adults, plus frequent beer parties. Good benefits, and no drug testing.

Cons

Not-invented-here syndrome is alive and well, the concept of design re-use is underdeveloped. Strong belief in having everyone collaborating at the same site has not lead to collaboration across groups, but devolves into face time being very important. So telecommuting is practically out of the question. They talk constantly about not being able to hire enough good people, but the recruiting process is pathetic. Politics and personal relationships are said to play an outsize role in upper management. Organizational structure may not be sustainable -- roughly 90% of revenue is coming from the audio division (mostly from a single well-known customer). Unless they get major traction from other customers soon I would expect a major re-org in 2013, given the politics I can't imagine it will be fun.

Pros

- Great company culture - Good benefit - Good working environment

Cons

May need more software devs?

Pros

Good projects driven by strong customer demand and requirements. Good work culture. Good benefits and perks. Happy hours, rock concerts organized regularly. Guitar and fitness classes at work.
