      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Benefits are ok compared to working for a competitor.

      Cons

      - Does not care about the welfare of it's employees, all about the bottom line so CEO can make $103 million in a year - Forcing employees back into the office when safety can not be guaranteed during COVID outbreak, no distancing and people walking around without masks. - CEO told employees to stop watching CNN - Will never support working remotely - Will suck the life out of you

      A mixed bag for engineers and technically focused people

      Anonymous employee

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The stock is doing well and they have a good bonus program for the divisions that perform well.

      Cons

      It isn't a great place for an engineer looking to do great work. The pressure to keep up with the CEO's demands for each quarter means that management is focused on cutting costs and propping up the operating margin to the detriment of any kind of long term technology development and planning. I was originally with LSI, survived the Avago acquisition and the Broadcom merger. The churn is also something that takes a toll on engineers' morale as you never know if either you or the things you are working on have a long term future in the company. If you are a senior employee looking to cash in on the ESPPs, RSUs and bonuses, you have good reason to stay here. A younger person looking to learn and grow in their career should not stay here too long. Get some relevant experience and leave for a more dynamic environment when you can.
