Business Outlook

Pros

Very engineering-driven working environment. Broadcom has enjoyed success in various segments of the market. There are a lot of smart people around who are very dedicated to technologies. Innovation is highly valued here.

Cons

There has been questionable directions on the investment on the cell phone baseband business (finally they decided to get rid of it). The whole company is dragged down even when all the other BUs are doing quite well.

Pros

Broadcom is a company that offers a deep technical ladder. You can be there for years, yet you could still be learning new things, working with other experts in the field.

Cons

Broadcom has many sites across the globe, making cross-team development challenging when working with other teams in different time-zones. Relatively long work hours.
