- When layoff is done, employee' access is disabled the very next day. The management doesn't even bother to consider that all the while the employees were working on projects and how they will prepare for interview without access to work databses. This disabling of access within 1-2 day is the norm here. I have seen it in my group as well as other 3-4 groups in which layoff happened in 2016 after Avago acquired it. * HR policies are turning worse after Avago acquisition. For example: if an employee decides to leave the company without serving notice period of 1 month, employee will have to pay 1 month salary. But if after the employee gives resignation, the company can end the employment without giving any compensation for the notice period. * Number of leaves have reduced from 18 to 15. Holidays are 10 in an year. This is less as compared to industry standard. * A major portion of the pay is given in terms of RSUs which is not good because when you leave, the unvested RSUs go away and you are not able to show a good baseline to your next employer so I'd say negotiate in the beginning itself to have cash instead of RSU. - Politics within sub-teams in bangalore. If one sub-team manager gets a chance, he will promote only his sub-team reportees and the other sub-team members will not be promoted even though being more competent. - Lot of politics between india vs US teams. - Upper management favors US team thats why layoff in Dec 2016 was fully done in bangalore team and none in US team. In shared projects, most credit goes to US team and most blame comes to india team. - Most of the work is moving to US and hence india employees feel that there will be more layoffs in the coming years. This group is highly unstable at this time.
