Avago Technologies Reviews

Cons

No yearly cost of living raises

Cons

Terrible management, bad and/or incompetent employees get away with almost anything, yet are viewed on the same level as people who work hard and consistently do their best, little to no recognition of hard work or accomplishments, inadequate training, little to no room for advancement, frequent politicking and animosity between departments, a pattern of the parent company of poaching other companies for their IP, and then doing mass layoffs, low pay.

Cons

Quarter earnings/profit focus and no real R&D.
Management ladder valued than individual contributors (obvious when you don't want R&D but want to make earnings/profit)
Pathetic cooperation/services from non-engineering support services (HR, IT, IP everything else); so bad that you don't expect it in a big company like this

Cons

Profit seemed to be the prime motivation.

Cons

Hock. What I have to say you probably already heard before.

Cons

You do more than one job - wear more than one hat.

Cons

This company doesn't care about one, two or 10 years in the future. The management is shortsighted, and can't see longer than 6 months in the future. They are hated by all of their customers (HP, Dell, Google) since they raise prices on a whim.

Cons

Some management is poor. Not fair to some people from merger.

Cons

1. Poor management; most execs are just retired and enjoying their perks
2. Hiring practices and policies are the worst you can see in any real technology R&D company.
3. This is not a R&D or a cutting edge product development company any more; just focused on increasing margins.

Cons

some staff need to improve their knowledge
