Business Outlook

Pros

Nice atmosphere, good benefits, mostly relaxed management, great pay. Nice building with really good equipment in lab and parking is usually easy to get in time of day.

Cons

Marketing team will make product definitions that have features that are not what the customers needs or wants. Middle managers need more training on how to lead and not just act like petty dictators of their own little fiefdom

Pros

Happy Hours, decent pay, good benefits

Cons

Depending on the organization that you are hired into will depend on how much you enjoy your job. A good org means freedom and professional growth while others means micromanagement out the wazoo

Nice office location downtown but already out of space.

Cons

Company can't recruit and retain employees.

Cirrus Logic Response

12y

Thanks for the review. As the reviewer notes, the company moved to downtown Austin in the summer of 2012 in the midst of a multiyear growth spurt, both financially and in headcount. That latter fact seems to run counter to the claim that the "company can't recruit"… given the significant rise in headcount during the past several years. Also, as previous company responses have noted, Cirrus Logic's retention rate is significantly lower than industry averages.
