Pros

Food used to be good, but getting worse over time. Gym used to be good, but getting dirty eventually. There are smart people around, but some are really arrogant and not friendly to work with.

Cons

There are mainly two group of people in the company. One group are very young, new grad (with the company less than 5 yrs), who do not care much about the career at Marvell, they just use here as a boot camp for their career development and prepare for better opportunities in the valley. Another group is very old (with the company longer than 10 yrs), they are settled with the company for quite a while and most of them do not have the motivation to improve. As a result, the management, esp the mid management are either very young, who are lack of experience and terrible to work with. Or too old to care. Sometimes, people with absolute no experience are put in a critical management position.

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.
