Vantaggi

- Fair market pay + Bonuses - Good refresehment and company amenities - Good medical/Vision/Dental insurance. (You will use the medical insurance inevitably, see blow ;-) )

Svantaggi

Cirrus Logic is a relatively small company. However, it has the worst of large and small companies. It has a relatively large numer of management employees, and not enough engineers to do the work. Work schdules are extremely tight, and always top-down and govern by their biggest customer, the Fruit company, with no rooms to compromise. Engineers work like slaves in most of the cases, and they use program managers to aggressively track the progress. Groups can be highly-political. In some groups dominated by a certain Southwest Asia country, if one doesn't fit in the special culture, he or she will be targeted and feed with loads of garbage but time consuming tasks with little to no time to rest. Consequently, turnover rate is high, as this kind of always-crunch-mode work schedule cannot be sustained on a regular basis year over year without compromising one's health.

Vantaggi

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.

Svantaggi

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.
