Business Outlook

Pros

After acquisition by Avago, literally nothing except for RSUs and the stock price.

Cons

Previous company was a heaven to work for. But, post acquisition there have been lot of changes happening in the name of cost cutting. Fear of business units getting sold and layoffs. Visa procedures are in stake. People in mid of green card process are stumbled. H1b filings were messed up and was not done for many. New grads shouldn't opt for this company anymore. Talents are starting to leave the company. No new hires recently. Work culture seems to have changed. Time to leave for a better option.
