      Pros

      Great engineering talent. Great customer relationships. Awesome bonuses. Great pay. Solid benefits. At one time, outstanding management with transparency, solid company future and a higher than average moral compass.

      Cons

      Company is based in Texas which is an "at will" work state. This works perfect for Cirrus. At will, they can lay off any employee, or entire divisions. Not a place where you can feel secure knowing that your contributions will help you keep a job in a market down turn or when a new hot market emerges. Executive, upper and middle anagement need to gain more work experience outside of the only company they have ever worked at in order to truly benefit a company and their employees.

      Cirrus Logic Response

      Thanks for taking the time to write this review! As a long-time Cirrus Logic employee, as you state, we know you’ve experienced the company growing at an exceptionally high rate for several years while also developing a corporate culture that has been recognized nationally during the past several years as being one of the top companies to work for in the United States. This recognition has been exclusively based on the feedback from Cirrus Logic employees regarding their satisfaction with their company work experience. As a business, of course, the company has a responsibility to drive toward programs that it believes will be successful and lead to long-term growth opportunities. Most every company, Cirrus Logic included, periodically fine tunes its strategies and programs to meet those objectives. You mention the need for diversification, which was a benefit from the company’s recent acquisition of Wolfson Microelectronics. Once again, thank you for taking the time to write this Glassdoor review!

      Is it too much to ask for a simple Thank-you?

      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.
