Marvell Technology

We offer work from home and a good work/life balance.

While many managers are guilty of talking big but ultimately failing to deliver. But if boasting and unreliability were an Olympic sport - Marvell managers would win the gold medal. Out of all my experience I have never seen such an unreliable bunch.

They lack planning skills.

They lack empathy. Often people are treated as simply numbers on a document.

The CEO, Matt Murphy often talks about clarity in communication. He started out very well. Over the years I guess under the influence of the old Marvell Guard his communications have now lost all clarity. There is now a lot of secrecy in the company.

Secondly, they also have the worst support functions. You can pick anything - HR, Facilities, Legal anything. And the general feeling you get is that they are not there to help you as an employee rather to make your life even more difficult. Most queries are answered with "I don't know. Ask someone else". So, if you are looking for a place where you can focus on work without worrying about other stuff like HR etc, this is not the place. You will often be left dealing with these issues on your own.

Employees are people.

They are not "headcounts".

If you have to hire and fire so many people so frequently then you need to tweak your "Strategic plans".
