Cirrus Logic was selected to participate in a comprehensive

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. Noted for being a family-friendly company emphasizing the
work/life balance, Cirrus Logic also provides its employees with
generous personal time off, competitive salary and bonus 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, health and wellness classes and
physical fitness training. In addition, employees share time
together while giving back to the community through volunteer
projects such as Habitat for Humanity and cleaning up the
neighboring Shoal Creek. Employees provide various additional

Texas, just to name a few.

others can look to, to see what kind of outstanding workplace is
possible—regardless of size, industry or other circumstances. For
