Great before merger, uncertain for now
Great before merger, uncertain for now
Wide variety of technologies, excellent pay, decent benefits, no micromanagement, and great potential for career development. Good amount of RSUs and a nice bonus.
Tier-one customers that are great to work with.
The big downside is that since the merger with Avago, there is uncertainty on the engineering level about the path forward. This means you never know when your job is determined redundant.
However, if you apply now and get an offer, you're likely in a much better position.
Make sure the dust settles soon and communicate your goals for the different business units clearly so they can work effectively.

Laid-back and candid. I appreciated the honesty and openness from the fellow engineers and management. My boss was intent on making sure my family was first and that work-life balance remained central to my career.
