Pros

The health insurance is good and the Irvine campus is nice.

Cons

The IT department is a very low caliber one, most of the real work is done by contractors "managed" from Irvine. In reality, nobody knows nothing and just hopes that the contractors know their stuff. The funny part is that the full time employees always try to look busy and going to 7 meetings a day just filling their hours. If you really want to learn something or do actual work, maybe you should look elsewhere. I guess with Avago things will look even worse.

Pros

Very competitive environment and extremely fast paced. Decisions get taken at the drop of a hat. No distinction between an US or India employee, almost everyone treated equally. Mostly the performance of an employee does all the talking. It gives you a different kind of thrill. Competitive compensation and rewards program and makes all the hard work worth it.

Cons

At times you need to take a break to refresh the mind but that was rarely provided in the team I worked for. I preferred staying away from politics but it does exist. Very on the face culture and not very employee centric or friendly.
