Good until Beceem acquisition

Engineering manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

I have learned a lot in the cellular division at Broadcom. I -like many others- got the opportunity to go beyond the initial assignments and learn about many system aspects. Internal transfers are easy if not encouraged. Compensation is OK, used to be much better.

Cons

The cellular business got killed by the Beceem acquisition. The VP at Broadcom was buddy with the CEO of Beceem. After 3 years of going nowhere, Broadcom eventually acquired renesas but CEO decided to pull the plug after 9 months. Way to much politics now and those who screwed up never faced the consequence of their acts. Titles are very much inflated and meaningless. Those who just get a free ride get the same recognition as those who do the work.
