Marvell Technology

• Pay is at market rate.

• Unlimited vacation but you will not have time to take it. Some times, your manager can deny your vacation request.

• If you can work over time for a long time without much vacation, then, this job is for you.

A lot of overtime, odd hours, and unplanned work. I was burned out in a year.

Meeting time from 7:30am PST (with US customers), and ended at 11pm PST (with India team). One employee is doing 3 employees' worth of work to save cost. That's why stock is higher but at the cost of employees' time.

• A lot of product issues, engineering doesn't resolve them quickly. Customers were unhappy and put a lot of stress on me.
• 95% engineering team is in India so there are mandatory night time meetings with Project Management, Product Management, Customer Issues, and even All-hands are all happening between 8pm PST to 11pm PST.
• With unlimited vacation, you don't get to take it since you have a lot of unplanned work/issue. When I left Marvell, I had no PTO balance to cash out.

For the 2 years I was here (between 2018-2020), I took less than one week of vacation. There will be no job/product training; they expect you to train yourself with this complicated HSM product. It took me 9 months to understand 70% of the product.

• Please provide enough work/job/product training for all employees to give customers more confidence with the Marvell employees and put less stress on the employees. Don't expect to hire someone and let them train themselves. It's not what a responsible manager should do.

• Make sure engineering team deliver on time with quality work so that customers can be happier and put less stress on Application Engineers.

• Make sure you don't allow late night meetings

• Make sure all employees are allowed to take time off; monitor the work life balance schedule (it's hard to do, and no manager cares!)
