Pros

Decent salary and benefits, especially early-career. Unlimited PTO is nice if and only if you have the right manager.

Cons

Terrible culture. Expect 6+ hours of meetings daily, all with 30+ people- no work gets done. Teams that directly work together have long, fully non-intersecting management chains. Expect a lot of "We do this because it's always been done that way"- even down to using in-house text editors from the IBM days. Every minor decision takes weeks of discussion and internal politics.

Pros

The culture is amazing. Everyone appears to want to chip and move a project forward or resolve an issue.

Cons

Not specific to Marvell, but the diversified nature of our work locations can sometimes be a challenge.

Pros

I worked with highly talented engineers on challenging projects and learned a great deal about embedded systems and software development. The engineering culture encouraged collaboration, knowledge sharing, and continuous learning, making it an excellent place to grow professionally.

Cons

As with many large organizations, some processes and decision-making could be slow, and cross-team coordination occasionally added delays to project execution.
