Pros
Good benefits, on-site gym and cafeteria
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.
Advice to Management
Recognize good workers from bad workers, view employees as human beings as opposed to commodities.

Doesn't RecommendNeutral OutlookDisapproves of CEOI worked at Avago Technologies full-time (More than 3 years)
Pros
Decent pay and stock (as long as the price stays up, its ok.).
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 thisAvago Technologies 2018-06-08 18:33 PDTHelpful (1)

Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookDisapproves of CEOI have been working at Avago Technologies full-time (More than 5 years)
Pros
Fast work environment, smart people
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.
Advice to Management
Recognize that everyone hates you, and wants to jump ship as soon a new Ethernet/WLAN supplier is available.

Pros
Stock is doing well and the compensation is ok.
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.Avago Technologies 2017-08-05 12:15 PDT![Avago Technologies Logo]()
