Pros

if you're looking to stay healthy physically then this is the job for you. 11 hour shifts while being on your feet walking back and forth and keeping machines running and not idled while still having to be precise about what you're doing on the computer and systems kept me active and healthy. although the systems they use and their quotas they expect you at the end of the day can be mentally draining, it can help you keep your mind off of life

Cons

alot of micromanagement going on which is kind of stressfull. They tend to switch you to different "bays" when you first start out working there so it's kind of hard when they set you in your "bay" to learn everything in that area and switch you around to different area's where they only briefly explain the temp bay they put you in and you kind of have to figure it out yourself without trying to mess up the "system".

Pros

Cypress is a good place to obtain "thick skin" as demonstrated in its cutthroat enviroment. I think its a good place to start a career, but not necessarily remain. Cypress is a great place to grow through many of the educational services they offer. They have a great rotation program which allows college graduates to experience all aspects of the business. Cypress is also big on allowing marketeers to work abroad and learn international cultures. After proving yourself in the United States they will allow you to move to Europe or Asia and support customers on your own. Overall there are many positive things for college grads.

Cons

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 Cypress facilities are also straight out of the 80's and out of date.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.
