Cypress Semiconductor reviews

Terrible management excellent in abusing employees. Management uses F*** word in almost 50% of the sentences. Meaning of the "appreciation" doesn't exist in the management dictionary. If you can withstand frequent verbal abuse, Cypress is probably the best company not only in Bay area, but in all of Unites States of America.

Cypress products are exciting, if not always successful in the marketplace. Many great products have withered on the vine, causing many lost jobs over the years. If you are employed by CY, just pray that your product or manufacturing line won't get cut! Average tenure at CY is just about 2.5 years, so turn over seems high compared to the industry, a potential indicator of dissatisfaction with the empoyer, but I'll let the ratings speak for themselves, as more and more CY employees rate their employer. TJ Rodgers instills an atmosphere of intimidation and fear, and finger pointing down the hierarchy is often a result. Also, because of the intimidating culture, management is often left in the dark as to project status due to fear of punishment on the part of rank-and-file employees. There is an unfortunate atmosphere of competition between design centers, especially harmful when most projects are completed utilizing resources from many different design centers in vastly varying time zones. Stress easily forms with overly aggressive and unreasonable project schedules and deadlines.
