Cypress Semiconductor Employee Reviews about "people"

Pros

Never boring; constantly new challenges and work is definitely not confined to repetitive tasks. Employees are encouraged to keep learning and improving processes and procedures

Cons

Very demanding and is more suitable for young single professionals than people who require good work life balance

Pros

Most of the people are great and very reasonable to work with.

Cons

Absolutely no work-life balance. Benefits and salaries lag the industry, no 401k match. Penny pinch everything, cut corners and pretend to be a company that is disciplined and directed by their specs but most specs are either obsolete, incorrect or just ignored. The merger has been horrific and has resulted in the top talent in several areas to move on to greener pastures.

Pros

if you work in the fab then you might still have a job, if not then it's a crap shoot.

Cons

after the merger (takeover) morale is at a all time low. people are sad and unsure of the future and middle management doesn't seem to have any answers.

Pros

Nice and smart people at the working level

Cons

Management team and the company culture are mean.

Pros

Very smart and hard working people

Cons

heavy workload and long working hours

Pros

Cons

don't like the CEO. Very self centered

Pros

1)A company with a global reach yet has a small business units that will give you a holistic and broad view of the semiconductor industry. 2) You will get to work on a of different projects and roles. 3) People are very smart and helpful.

Cons

1) Very bureaucratic. 2) Too much documentation 3) can get very hectic.

Pros

The engineering teams are filled with smart people. The company is still lead by the founder who also happens to be a tech savvy engineer and business guru.

Cons

There is no room for advancement. There are too many high paid managers and not enough people doing the actual work. The pay is not competitive (20% under market). The benefits were never good, but in 2016 they are horrible. Management leaned too much on the stock plan to fill the compensation gap. Even before the recent decline the plan was basically worthless. Look at the CY stock history - it's been flat for 3 of the last 4 years - there is no growth here!

Pros

At Cypress there is a great team atmosphere of people who are willing to assist if they can. The knowledge base is huge and there are a lot of intelligent people makinghuge and there are a lot of intelligent people makinghuge and there are a lot of intelligent people making tough decisions every day.

Cons

Even with all the knowledge, the company is crippled with the inability to think at growing into a company who is competing in the current industrial standard. State of the art products are ran on old machines that require constant maintenance to keep above 65% efficiency. Saving a $ is top priority, saving time and stress is not a priority. "Work smarter, not harder" is said but when the smarts come out, the ideas are crushed into long drawn out meetings that end with no real progress.
