Pros

The CEO seems to emphasize integrity and open communication. There is an average work life balance.

Cons

Management did a very poor job of treating the engineering folks acquired from Cavium merger. Employees are not eligible for 2019 bonus!

In the pretext of role leveling all technical level employees' job titles above staff engineer were pulled back by at least 2 positions. At the same time all the employees in the management level retained their respective titles. This discriminatory role leveling has dealt a severe blow to morale of affected employees.

Advice to Management

Treat all employees fairly. Don't discriminate between management and technical folks. Talk is cheap, employees are watching your actions.
