LSI's review

Staff engineer

Business Outlook

Pros

Good Benefits. Good infrastructure to get your work done.

Cons

Your happiness really depends on the manager you are assigned to. Most people are under stress and so are the immediate managers. Its the senior management that doesn't seem to understand how to navigate a tough environment.

LSI is a good, although not perfect, place to work

Pros

Working at LSI has given me the opportunity to work with cutting edge storage-related technologies. The work is challenging and you get to work alongside other extremely skilled engineers. Unlike some other tech companies, LSI rarely expects you to put in over 40 hours a week, making work/life balance easier. The office culture is very relaxed, work hours are extremely flexible and the dress code allows nearly everyone to dress how they want. If you're determined, talented and hard-working, it seems to be fairly easy to advance your career. Most managers also seem willing to let you attend training seminars or classes to improve your skills.

Cons

Unfortunately, the pay and benefits at LSI are not the best in the industry. There are no annual cost of living raises, and although pay increases are performance-based, sometimes the less skilled employees end up getting bigger raises than the more talented employees. Currently, low-level employees (less than 5 years experience) are not eligible for annual bonuses, either. Outsourcing has become common at LSI, so large portions of work are done in India. You will be expected to work with these employees, so communication is often unbearably slow and the quality of work they produce is sometimes very sub-par. There are not a lot of young employees at LSI. Not a lot of people are familiar with LSI's products, so it can be difficult to explain to outside people what you do for a living.

LSI is an outstanding company to grow and learn with.

Pros

LSI was a company willing to invest in their employees. I moved in to level 3 technical support with only the experience I gained at LSI as a Level 1 customer support rep. They offer tuition reimbursement and work with your school schedule. I was also blessed with an awesome team of people around me and management that supported their team when decisions were made.

Cons

It is a large company and although I stood out within my department, it's hard to stand out within the entire company. I would also have liked to see better health insurance, but the at least offered a selection of plans.
