Cirrus Logic, Inc. (Nasdaq: CRUS), an Austin-based semiconductor
company, was ranked ninth on 2012’s top 50 Best Small and Medium
Workplaces in America by the Great Place to Work® Institute. Cirrus
Logic moved up from its #24 ranking in 2011 on the nationally
recognized annual list, which will be published in Fortune®
magazine and distinguishes companies that have exceptional
workplace cultures.
“Being listed as one of the top companies to work for in America
for the second straight year is a great honor that reflects the
company’s commitment to build a model corporate culture based on
trust, integrity and camaraderie,” said Jo-Dee Benson, vice
president and chief culture officer, Cirrus Logic. “From our
signature ‘Cirrus Rocks!’ monthly music concerts, weekly happy
hours, holiday events for the kids and giving back to our local
community, Cirrus Logic has built an exceptional team with really
great people. Having an outstanding corporate culture truly makes a
difference as we continue to grow and hire world-class talent.”
Cirrus Logic was selected to participate in a comprehensive
audit, which includes an in-depth employee survey about the
company’s corporate culture, employee programs and practices. The
Great Place to Work Institute then evaluates each application using
its unique and rigorous methodology based on credibility, respect,
fairness, pride and camaraderie.
Cirrus Logic fosters a culture of continuous improvement, with
regular employee feedback directly contributing to new programs and
services. Cirrus Logic is noted for being a family friendly company
emphasizing the work/life balance, and also provides its employees
with generous personal time off, competitive salary and bonus
programs, personal and professional development training, and
outstanding health and welfare benefit programs. The company also
provides numerous on- and off-site benefits including monthly
“Cirrus Rocks!” concerts featuring local Austin musicians, weekly
happy hours, a company picnic at Schlitterbahn Waterpark, kids
holiday events, guitar lessons, health and wellness classes and
physical fitness training. In addition, the employees share their
time together while giving back to the community when volunteering
for Habitat for Humanity, cleaning up the neighboring Shoal Creek,
Health Alliance for Austin Musicians, KLRU, American Red Cross and
the Blood Center of Central Texas, just to name a few.
“The Best Small & Medium Workplace list grows more
competitive every year and this list represents the best of the
best,” said Susan Lucas-Conwell, global chief executive officer of
Great Place to Work. “While each company is unique, what they have
in common are strong cultures that support positive
workplaces.”
The list, which is now in its ninth year, represents the best
workplaces separated into three categories: small companies with
25-250 employees, medium companies with 251-999 employees, and
large companies. This recognition by the Great Place to Work
Institute adds to Cirrus Logic’s numerous other best-place-to-work
awards received by the company during the past several years.
