Pros

The compensation and benefits were good. The teamwork at the company was very good and enabled us all to get our work done fast.

Cons

Broadcom didn't seem to know what the customers wanted. We were always developing product that was too late and didn't have the features to compete in the market.

Business Outlook

Pros

Decent pay with stock benefits. Good Cafeteria. Some groups have really interesting technology. Mid-level management pretty solid. Good balance of work and life. Company seems really interested in retaining good talent (after seeing a bunch walk out). Seems to invest well in R&D for critical groups.

Cons

Not easy to transfer job functions (ie from group to group) It seems generally not to be encouraged. It started to have that "big company" feel to it. When you need help you have to traverse the management ladder. Sometimes high level management is short sighted on certain projects. Some less visible groups can go underfunded.
