Strong engineering focus, fast-moving, successful.

Principal design engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Excellent engineering-focused environment. Broadcom started with a lot of core technical knowledge and has continued to acquire more every year. Large percentage of Engineers and PhD's in the workforce. Startup-like mentality means plans move ahead quickly for corresponding market success.

Cons

Risk of burnout; projects with less upside or longer payback have a hard time getting funded. Your experience may vary depending on which part of Broadcom emplys you - as an ongoing roll-up of many startups there is always cultural integration in process at various stages in various places. Another problem with the acquisition strategy is that founders or key members may leave the newly-acquired division quickly. Especially true now the share price is lower.

Great place to get technical experience, but limited management opportunities

Principal ic design engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great place to get technical exposure, definitely gives enormous opportunities to improve technical expertise

Cons

Limited opportinuties to grow up the management ladder, lately compensation structure does not align with traditional broadcom philosophy of stock compensation, basically compensation is (base salary + bonus in form of RSU's which do not work out much + a miniscule 401k match), previously stock options used to be given out which used to make Broadcom lucrative but not anymore
