Pros

At first, I was excited to work for Marvell. But after only being here for 6 months, these are the only pros: -Gym -My colleagues (excluding direct management) -Plenty of parking -Medical benefits

Cons

-Micromanagement is the only kind of management -Out-of-date processes (or lack of processes) -Resistance to new ideas and tools -No focus on growth of the employee (all "promotions" based on who you know) -Upper management seems to be concerned with "hoarding" money instead of spending it on adding more staff, improving benefits, or providing sufficient licenses for tools -Absolutely no work/life balance (management constantly suggests to work weekends and 12-hour days) -No flexible hours (maybe just my particular group) -1 person does the workload of multiple people

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.
