Provided pretty good facilities (gyms, breakrooms, etc.) Pretty good benefits Good relationships between peer teams (at least in my area of IT)

Cons

Ancient processes and practices made trying to get projects completed a painstaking practice, having to work everything through the system. Completely top-down directional guidance. Short-sighted executive leadership with complete lack of vision

New Broadcom Make Thing Cheaper, Faster, Better - That is Motto Now

Pros

Is good at lunch time because not so crowded in cafeteria with all the lay-off. Also easier to find parking space. We use to foster innovation - incredible accomplishment and support at Broadcom some time in past. Now we figure how to do more with much less. We build sport car with paper engine now.

Cons

Work life feeling in the pits. Get management to sign off on everything. Pressure to compete. Big concern is how we do cheaper. Work you to stay on cutting edge but without tools. If something broke and you need fixed, be prepared to hear No because cost. Lots of stuff broke. Even people from Avago frighten to lose job.

Ridiculous KPI

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good pay and benefit in Taiwan.

Cons

* Unfair, very subjective, "black box" performance appraisal (KPI) system. The KPI system encouraged you to compete with your own peer team members, while the expectation from the management team .was to cooperate with your peer team members. * No skill trainings at all, you have to learn everything by yourself to survive meanwhile at the same time you have a lot of workload - very inefficient.
