Marvell Technology Reviews

Pros

Sharp technical teams. Powerful IP portfolio. Great culture, benefits, campus. Terrific opportunities to work with world class teams in China, India, Israel, etc - a truly global corporation.

Cons

Need higher pay (base, bonus, options) to be competitive. This is the key drawback that senior management needs to solve immediately.

Advice to Senior Management

Pay for excellence - for new hires and current employees. You will get the difference in productivity that far outweighs the pay increase.

Excellent Engineering talent & work culture

Cons

Recognition very less for hard workers

Advice to Senior Management

Management should have a symbiotic relationship with the engineering talent

Nobody treats the schedule serious.

Advice to Senior Management

Be honest to your employees.

A good place to gain experience.

Cons

Compensation does not worse the frequent overtime introduced by unreasonable schedule.

Advice to Senior Management

Some higher management can show more sincere respect to engineers.
Bonus should not have upper limit.

Pros

Ability to work on several projects. Ability to work with great talent - the strength of the company is in the people working there.

Cons

Lack of mgt (director-VP-C-level) direction, lack of mgt support, lack of opportunities for growth. Sink or swim envornment, not very collaborative.

Advice to Senior Management

People are not commodities. Creating opportunities for employees to learn and grow will lead to lower attrition. Mgt (director-VP and C-level) could consider mentoring their teams.

Pros

Can learn at a faster pace

Cons

Will get tired of repetitive work

Advice to Senior Management

Should not interfere with the day to day activities

Pros

Marvell has a strong engineering team. The technology is always leading edge. Inside your position, you can usually freely rotate to different role if you demonstrate the ability to handle it.

Cons

Too many projects going nowhere. There is no real marketing people out there, and there is no focus. The philosophy is to always to delivered a product that is much smaller, more power efficient AND with the best performance AND with ALL the features. Also too less attention is put on the verification side.

Advice to Senior Management

Recruit top talents for marketing positions, not puppets that can only obey orders.

Pros

helpful senior team and easy towards newcomers

Cons

Management too much involved in day to day activities.

Advice to Senior Management

Good company to start off with.

Pros

You are able to get access to the latest wireless technology by being involved in every single system-on-chip (SOC) design.

Cons

Promotion seems not easy if you are currently holding a title of "staff", there is a long way to go from manager to director.

Advice to Senior Management

It would be much better if each individual's title is wide open in system, since this is one signature of a fair system.
