Pros

Very positive in the first 3 months. Lots of enthusiasm in the initial hiring and on-boarding phase. But that wore off quickly.

Cons

The real Marvell is being asked to work long hours and weekends (60 hour work weeks will become standard). That is unless you are friends with or connected/related to someone in upper management. Directors and VPs vying for power and leveraging people against each other. There is a tolerance for and promotion of toxicity and overall very negative politics. And a general disorganized approach to work. No real plan for employee culture outside of copying values & initiative of other semiconductor companies & what is trending for culture ideas and engagement.

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.
