I wouldn’t recommend working here
The health insurance is good and the Irvine campus is nice.
The IT department is of very low caliber. Most of the real work is done by contractors, "managed" from Irvine.
In reality, nobody knows anything and just hopes that the contractors know their stuff. The funny part is that the full-time employees always try to look busy, going to seven meetings a day to just fill their hours.
If you really want to learn something or do actual work, maybe you should look elsewhere. I guess with Avago, things will look even worse.
Sign-on bonuses should not have to be repaid if an employee is leaving after the acquisition is announced. Most of us are leaving because we don't have a choice.
Also, hire people for attitude more than skills or experience.
