All Show and No Substance
Manager (Current Employee), Austin, TX – April 18, 2013
Pros: wearing jeans everyday
Cons: management is out of touch with employees, no job security, hr management more interested in scheduling happy hours than career planning, hr grossly neglects training for managers
Company needs focus
HR pushes employees to rate company and managers well on performance surveys and discuss any issues only in private
No job security
Lacks new ideas
Poor overall management
Poor management of HR
Focus is too much on Employee perks (free coffee, ice cream, beer) and not enough on product development and working as a team to develop – more... strategic initiatives.
Management does throw employees under the bus instead of working on their own management skills – less

A work hard play hard atmosphere
CAD Generalist (Current Employee), Austin, TX – March 16, 2013
Pros: weekly happy hour. good bonus program
At Cirrus, the management truly gives you the feeling that they care about their employees. Like any other semi-conductor company we too have tight schedules and deadlines to meet but even during this time the company atmosphere allows you to wind down for an hour during the weekly happy hour.
The happy hour is a great way for you to socialize and find – more... out what your other co-workers (ones you do not interact with daily) are up to, bounce ideas off of each other etc.
Cirrus is growing at a fast rate and has close to a 1000 employees now, but it still has a small company feel where activity doesn't get bogged down by a lot of corporate formalities. And like a small company others aware of your accomplishments. – less

Laid back and fun enviornment to work in

This company had a great culture and many fun events for its employees. The downside is the lack of advancement available due to the smaller size of the organization.

fast paced environment, learned many job functions, benefits were better than most places.
Material Expeditor/Inventory Control (Former Employee), Tucson, AZ – August 31, 2012
Pros: benfits were some of the best when we were cirrus. cirrus always encouranged fun in the workplace, and we participated in many company sponsered events.
Cons: we were spread way too thin at times, but we learned alot of different jobs.
Latest position there was Material Expeditor. I would print out work orders in SAP, gather appropriate documentation, (layouts, custom flow sheets, etc.) pull appropriate materials, issue and release to specific areas of the floor. There were 3 areas that needed to be kept running daily, these included Thickfilm, Reflow, and Die Attach.
Once a job was – more... completed, I would verify counts, receive material in and either store or move to the next location. I also performed weekly audits to ensure counts were spot on in all areas of materials.
I also worked as a Planner, which included attended daily meetings to determine priorities.I created work orders, posted schedules in appropriate areas, expedited operations that could potentially delay schedules. Conferred with department supervisors to determine progress of work and to provide data on priority changes. I learned many operations, inlcuding assembly, functional test, Quality Assurance, Incoming Inspection, Design Engineering Specialist, Customer Service and Sales, and also worked closely with procurement. This is one area I would have liked to have mastered.
The management always seemed to turn over there. In my 25 years there I saw alot of turnover. When Cirrus took us over, they eliminated some upper level manager positions and wanted new people to fill certain positions because they had Ivy League degrees that they felt were better than experience.
The co workers were some of the hardest working ,loyal and considerate people I have had the privledge to know. I created many lifelong friendships, and most of them were like family.
Hardest part of the job, saying goodbye to everyone when I was laid off after working with them for so many years, seeing the fear in their face wondering if they were next.
Most enjoyable part of the jobs, were that there was never a supervisor hovering over you, I worked unsupervised to perform the tasks at hand without any problems. – less
