Pros

Great perks, such as: happy hours, free snacks & beverages, company events, healthcare and an awesome 401k matching program. Nice downtown location, easy commute if you live close to the area, but disastrous commute if you're far north or south. Easy to make friends with (most) coworkers.

Cons

No growth, and a lot of favoritism. Feels like any ideas, suggestions, or criticism that employees have are rebuffed or not seriously considered. So much hiring, but a lot of downtime. Feast or famine type of environment. Also, not a very friendly work environment for women, which may be a consequence of the industry, BUT it doesn't have to be.

Thanks for the review. We also agree that there’s lots to like about working here at Cirrus Logic, including the perks mentioned above. Not to mention our health and welfare benefits package, onsite gym and exercises classes, free guitar lessons, monthly employee concerts, free commuter transportation, our very own Innovations Conference, Cirrus Logic’s Kid’s Club, and the outreach and support we provide to the local community. And just to highlight a few other unique activities that we do for our employees and their families, we can’t forget events like the annual Halloween “Boo at the Zoo.” Cirrus Logic strives to create a great working environment for everyone, and the feedback we receive from employees through the Great Place to Work and the Workplace Dynamics/Austin American-Statesman employee surveys seem to indicate that overall we’re doing a pretty good job. And of course through our Connected Network group we’re active supporters of such organizations as the Society of Women’s Engineers, Women in Engineering Society (UK), GirlStart programs and the Texas Women’s Conference, to name a few. Finally, it’s worth noting that as of our most recent fiscal year, 2017, the company posted revenue growth of more than 25 percent for the third consecutive year.

Pros

The company has strong technical products and many talented engineers. There are opportunities to work on meaningful engineering and verification challenges, and I had positive technical collaborations with several strong engineers.

Cons

Employee experience can vary significantly depending on local management. In my experience, feedback and escalation did not always feel transparent or actionable. I would encourage future employees to pay close attention to how expectations, performance concerns, and speak-up issues are handled in practice. Company culture should not be judged only by perks, free food, snacks, or friendly messaging. Core values like ethics, integrity, and speaking up are truly tested during difficult situations — when there is conflict, disagreement, or concerns raised about management behavior. That is when employees see whether values are truly lived or mostly written on paper. I would also be thoughtful about employee surveys. Even when surveys are described as anonymous, discussing results openly at a small-group or team level can make employees question whether their feedback is truly protected. If people feel comments can be traced back to a small group, they may stop being honest.
