- very poor compensation, salary, raises, promotions - abusive management (verbally) - no growth or learning that can be used outside of the company - lack of recognition unless you are in top 5-10% - lack of respect for people - employees aren't treated as humans - work under constant threat of being given the boot - no appreciation of hard working loyal employees - lack of vision for future - VERY POLITICAL (can not emphasize this enough) - haphazard business driven decisions, "Lets do this NOW, ALL OF YOU!" - Stingy and miserly when it comes to spending money on professional industry standard tools (they like to home-brew EVERYTHING)

Pros

Cypress provides challenging work opportunity at all levels. Cypress provides generous Stock Options and other benefits Cypress delivers high-performance, high-quality solutions at the heart of today’s most advanced embedded systems

Cons

Punitive micromanaging culture. The PMO still favors the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK) as their primary methodology. Reflecting traditional planning practices, the PMBOK provides an adaptable framework for a wide variety of project needs. It is not nearly as flexible as Agile.

Pros

* Processes are well-defined. * They target "zero-return silicon". * Huge customers all around the world.

Cons

* Too much process bounded.

Great hardware, however high quality software is a low priority.

Long work hours, low pay, poor morale, high turn over, poorly equipped, and nasty management style.
