AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Cirrus Logic Inc. (Nasdaq: CRUS), an Austin-based semiconductor company, was ranked as one of 2011's top 50 Best Small and Medium Work Places in America by the Great Place to Work® Institute. Cirrus Logic appeared on the nationally recognized annual list, which was published in Entrepreneur® and distinguishes companies that have exceptional work cultures.

"Being listed as one of the top companies to work for in America is a great honor because it showcases the transformation of the Cirrus Logic company culture during the past several years," said Jo-Dee Benson, Chief Culture Officer, Cirrus Logic. "We are focused on building an excellent company and our employees are aligned with the company's vision, mission and core values. Our culture of camaraderie, trust and continuous improvement is the centerpiece to being an amazing place to work, and any one of our employees will tell you that Cirrus Logic is that place. We're a proud team with great people — having an outstanding corporate culture matters."

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 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 parties, guitar lessons, health and wellness training and physical fitness "boot camps." In addition, the employees share their time together while giving back to the community when volunteering for Habitat for Humanity, Health Alliance for Austin Musicians, KLRU, American Red Cross and Blood Center of Central Texas, just to name a few.

Also, large companies are recognized by the Great Place to Work Institute, and this list is published annually by Fortune magazine.
