Cypress Semiconductor reviews

There are many corporate processes that are stuck in the past and basically set in stone despite the often heard phrase which promotes change: "follow the spec or change it". An abundance of management layers - technical management and project management don't communicate well which has implications for project scheduling. The longer I stay at Cypress the less I am making - health benefits cost more (and are worse) each year and annual raises are not commensurate with the cost of living.

Cypress is a tough and demanding place to work. The management will belittle employees in large meetings. This is a very data driven company and not customer driven. We care much more about ourselves then our customers. Our CEO T.J. Rodgers is the driver behind this type of culture. He is a no "B.S." type of guy and is very brutal in operations reviews. Cypress has a terrible 401K plan which matches only up to $2000 of a contribution. Cypress facilities are also straight out of the 80's and out of date. Sometimes you feel like you are working for a company in 1985.
