Pros

They provide broadcom shares every quarter

Cons

The environment is not at all good for work, For almost 2 years, every day people are scared with layoff news. And also, no benefits in broadcom except the stock options they provide. They use "providing stocks every quarter" as a marketing strategy to hold on employees.

Good compensation but nothing else

Business Outlook

Pros

VMware used to be an excellent company to work for, until Broadcom took it over. Now, there is excellent compensation especially if you are P6 and above. But that is where good things end.

Cons

Constant layoffs, Need to badge in every workday even if team is distributed throughout the world. No more career growth after VMware was bought. Hardly any HR or IT help.
