Pros

- Food was good, but quality declined after it became no longer free - Good medical insurance coverage compared to similar plans from other companies - Great stock performance for the past two years. That was the reason compensation was on par with the basic salaries you can get else where (I'm not so sure this is a plus...)

Cons

- Tonnes of work for drones, but nothing to learn. - The rest of the industry has moved on to newer tools and standards, Marvell hasn't - Uncompetitive compensation - No career advancement opportunities - Lower management will promote whoever they like best personally. If you are not from the same country as your manager, don't expect any career opportunities. - Micro-management practiced and encouraged - Management will "suggest" re-arrangements to your personal life at home so you can stay in the office and work overtime as much as possible

Pros

- Great work culture, helpful colleagues, managers with real leadership qualities. - Quality over quantity is expected and appreciated. - Periodic recalibration of assignments and deadlines of individual engineers to keep the workloads realistic. - No risk averting behaviors which gives freehand for all engineers to explore new ideas to improve the design performance. - Management seems to fish out and raise engineers from all levels who move the needles. - Have enough infrastructure and resources to develop advanced products without pressuring the engineers. - Adopting AI is every aspect of work. So, engineers can adapt to future needs of the industry.

Cons

- Salary can be a bit higher.
