Pros

Their stock during 2000 to 2005 was the only reason people stuck around. After the stock started to decline and lose 70% of its value starting early 2006, lots of people left. The only redeeming value is that Marvell makes you very efficient worker but at the expense of professionalism.

Cons

No work life balance; lots of politics in exec level mgmt with GMs. GMs of business Units who know how to 'talk' to CEO usually get what they want. I am sure this is also true of other companies but the degree that this happened was embarrassing. In particular, there is a somewhat young Indian GM who was not a goof businessman and had a terrible reputation with customers. But he was a technical guy who could talk circles around the CEO.
