Pros

Decent pay, office perks, fun office events

Cons

Under the direction of the new CEO, the former values of Cirrus Logic have been abandoned. While it’s likely not directly his fault, the unfortunate people he has chosen to hire in positions of management are failing enormously. Rather than assimilating into the company and its culture, these new managers felt it was more ethical and easier for them to simply fire everyone in sight so they could start with a fresh new team. It doesn’t matter to them how many lives they ruin by doing this, it’s all about them. In actuality, due to the amazingly warm and professional culture that Cirrus previously boasted, these new managers could have been welcomed with open arms and received wisdom and guidance from their teams of dedicated workers, most of whom who had been loyal to Cirrus for decades. Unfortunately for the new management, this now means that both they and their new teams have no idea what they’re doing. Most of the newer employees quickly realized they had hopped aboard a scuttled ship and jumped as soon as they could. The turnover is shocking. This is not the place it used to be. These new managers are calculated, inhumane, unethical, and cutthroat. If you had asked me five years ago to give a review of Cirrus Logic, I’d have given it more than 5 stars if I could have. Unfortunately, this place is just not what it used to be. Do yourself a favor and stay away.

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.
