- 3.0engineer at marvellValidation Engineer • Former EmployeeJune 11, 2024Pros: The position is stable, well-paid, and offers a good work-life balance.Cons: The products are boring and use old technologies because they do not want to move to new technologies.
- 2.0Bad culture, good benefitsValidation Engineer • Former EmployeeMay 28, 2024Pros: There is a decent salary and benefits, especially early-career. Unlimited PTO is nice if and only if you have the right manager.Cons: Terrible culture. Expect 6+ hours of meetings daily, all with 30+ people - No work gets done. Teams that directly work together have long, fully non-intersecting management chains. Expect a lot of "We do this because it's always been done that way" - Even down to using in-house text editors from the IBM days. Every minor decision takes weeks of discussion and internal politics.
