"You better be good, they only work on the next generation of stuff and do the lowest level of coding you can imagine. The work they do doesn't allow you to look up a help doc to see what do do next because you are doing it for the first time probably. If you aren't good with machine language, assembly, NVRAM, firmware and BIOS technology you will be over your head. I loved the fact that I was always pushed."

"The company as a whole has good ethics, especially my Senior Manager(Erik Paulsen), is an awesome person to work with. For anyone who loves to troubleshoot, I would say have/start a career as a systems engineer as it provides you a whole picture of how the system works. Then you can specialize in specific field of systems engineering."

What don't you like about working at LSI Corp.?

"Scope of work. Like to be involved in Hardware roles. Like trouble shooting/designing electronic circuits."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"A plan on how an employee can reach to his aspirations. Like mentioning what he lacks for the role he seeks. Management should never hire a person, just because he/she did internship and they had to hire one of the interns. If the candidate is not promising then I feel, the management should let the position be vacant.Strictly no room for friendships and hiring past friends into group. Only if the candidate is deemed to be fit by fellow members of the group, should he/she be hired.Management should never promote a person in a group to the managerial level, just because the previous manager had left. He/She could be a lead until a new manager fills the position."
