Good salary Great ESPP program - has 2 year lookback for buying stock at lowest price. Makes efforts to be inclusive and diminish bias.

Cons

Marvell is an amalgamation of companies acquired in the last 5 years, each with its own campus culture, operating procedures, and ancestor company hierarchy minus the heads. The Santa Clara (leadership) campus is opulently funded with many benefits. The satellite campuses are in as-acquired condition and benefits.

Leadership is long on claiming widespread achievement of company objectives, based on one group's performance and short on the preparation, time, funding and hard work necessary for the entire company to achieve it.

Leadership cites turn arounds and growth it achieved at prior companies but is quick to cancel programs and layoff groups based on the current estimated ROI. If you have no magic, don't claim to.

Advice to Management

Leadership is leading others to success, not yourself - that's just called selfishness.

Make the companywide investment in high quality (low variation) high value leadership, engineering, manufacturing, sales, distribution, and infrastructure with difficult to achieve goals and metrics. The stock price is not a metric for any of these.

Embrace geographic diversity. Make Marvell salary and benefits equitable across all sites, Marvell will then not only be one of the best places to work in the Bay area, but across the globe.
