Pros

It is possible to work with a lot of different technologies. The facilities are good. The offices in Santa Clara are very nice. There is free food (breakfarst / lunch / dinner, fruit and snacks and there is a coffee bar). There is a positive atmosphere. It is a good place to be an engineer - the company is very engineering driven.

Cons

Managers play favorites. There are a lot of politics going on among management - a lot of blaming and finger pointing. Long hours are expected. The schedules are not realistic. You often will only get time to "get it done" not "do it right". The pay is below average. The benefits are average - it all depends how the stock is doing.

Pros

Free food, it's a job in a terrible economy and not much sexism. Management does try to hire the best engineers possible. Very strong technically

Cons

Management expects 16 hour work days seven days a week. Meetings are scheduled saturdays, evenings - there is little or no respect for employees personal time. Upper management's ability to run a large company is dubious at best - lack of professional executive management Too much nepotism It's a constant state of fear because of the crazy way upper management makes decisions. The company's reputation is terrible - I find it embarassing to say i work there.

Pros

A Technically competent engineering force

Cons

24/7 attitude of mgmt once Marvell has provided you w/ a company-paid telephone; meetings REGULARLY scheduled for 6 PM; ethnic mix of organization is significantly (> 60 %) with Chinese. No Equal Opportunity mix here. Collaboration is a scarce commodity and fear of disclosing any short-coming - much less failure - is rampant company culture
