Cypress Semiconductor Employer Reviews

Good atmosphere. Very direct culture. Work / Life balance is pretty good for a Silicon Valley Company.

Management at all levels have high expectations and the company provides the tools to succeed.

Day is really hectic but you work with very talented people.

People could be difficult at times but good benefits. Work hard and you will be rewarded.

A great place to work. The people and the companies culture very strong with quality.

Commodity semiconductor product line that seems to require a pinch-penny administrative and development environment.

Very demanding, but also rewarding. Pay is good, fun co-workers.

For 12 hours I would process wafers(computer chips) through my tools and send them off to the next step. I would also perform qualifications on the tools to make sure they ran properly. If you were hired directly to the company you had great benefits, but if not, Your job security was always in jepordy and you only got benefits from the temp agency. – more... The worst part about the company is you have to go through a temp agency to work there. I was hired and worked there for 5 1/2 years, got laid off, went back there 2 years later and had a $5 pay cut for doing exactly what I was doing before just because I was a temp and not hired on. – less

Good working environment. Good learning opportunities, good engineers and scientists to work with. Flexible working hour. Good professional management

Poor strategic planning. Operational functions driven by consumer demand, not long term planning. No mentorship. Old school corp culture of governing through fear.

A typical day at work included at least one emergency. I usually had several projects going at once. I learned a great deal from my colleagues and managers. I learned many new skills and tools and improved my writing. The hardest part of the job was the constant state of emergency and lack of planning, which often resulted in long hours. The people – more... were the best part of working there. Everyone was bright and motivated. The culture is kind of macho, though. – less

The best job I've ever had.
Stayed busy, learned much.
Looked out for you, even though you may not see it at the time.
For the most part,they were wonderful.
Changing every time you left the cleanroom.
The energy and satisfaction of a job well done.

I miss it every day.

The company atmosphere was pleasant and friendly. There were quarterly parties held for the employees, as well as a big bash once a year.

There was a company manual on an internal web site, any new project had to conform to standards in this document.

It was a good place to work, I enjoyed working there.

I worked in a design center, the design didn't – more... succeed, and the center was closed. – less

Is a well structured company. It is right in the heart of the Semiconductor industry. It is also a well managed company.

Good company to work
challenging environment
good co workers
very good learning curve
