Cypress Semiconductor reviews

- very poor compensation, salary, raises, promotions - abusive management (verbally) - no growth or learning that can be used outside of the company - lack of recognition unless you are in top 5-10% - lack of respect for people - employees aren't treated as humans - work under constant threat of being given the boot - no appreciation of hard working loyal employees - lack of vision for future - VERY POLITICAL (can not emphasize this enough) - haphazard business driven decisions, "Lets do this NOW, ALL OF YOU!" - Stingy and miserly when it comes to spending money on professional industry standard tools (they like to home-brew EVERYTHING)

The Company does not respect the personal values of it's employees. Lying, subterfuge, and cover-up is expected from employees, so as to proliferate management " tall tales" on issues throughout the company. If one stands by thier principles and tells the truth regarding company issues, one is told what to say, such that it matches the "story" management wishes to tell. If one refuses to just "go-along" with the dictated "story", one gets the privilidge of attending countless meetings on the subject of the "story", pursued and told to "conform" to management's line, much like one would endure in a Communist re-education camp. I once attended no less than 10 "meetings" as described above, all with the intent of wearing me down so I would just accept management's "version" of the facts on an issue. This is much like brainwashing. HR simply reinforces Management's "tales" and behaviors. Cypress cannot handle the truth....worse, the Company does much psycological damage to all that must work there. I escaped to a better job. I hope all that hate the above behaviors can get out.
