“After Cirrus Logic acquired Wolfson Microelectronics in 2014, we set out to build a truly exceptional corporate culture and overall work environment for our U.K. team,” said Jason Rhode, president and CEO, Cirrus Logic. “With so much of one’s life revolving around work and career, we take employee job satisfaction seriously. The scores from our employee survey showed significant improvement in two short years, and now making the Great Place to Work’s list of top employers for the first time in the U.K. is a great honour.”
Cirrus Logic participated in a rigorous selection process, which included an employee feedback survey and in-depth questionnaire about its employee programmes and company practices. Great Place to Work evaluates each application using its unique methodology based on five dimensions of a great workplace: credibility, respect, fairness, pride and camaraderie. Cirrus Logic has been recognised on the Great Place to Work’s list of best small and medium companies in the U.S. for the past five years, ranking No. 8 in the 2015 list which was published in FORTUNE®.
