Pros

None that I can remember of

Cons

The list can take 10 pages but I can summarize in a few lines....they just port the same circuits since 10 years and they do not know even the reason (except we always did this way kinda of answer). Plus they do not like thinking people (considered trouble makers)...they prefer button pushers (just do it you are not paid to think). If you have a good Ph.D. it is a total waste of your time and talent being in BRCM

Pros

Good overall culture. Scott McGregor has great vision and the company has a good roadmap.

Cons

More senior employees do not feel respected and valued. Seems like the team has high turnovers (due to better opportunities elsewhere) and senior members being replaced with more and more junior (thus cheaper) engineers. Vacation policy (no longer accumulation based) is just pure wrong. Compensation is unfair (under market value especially for senior people). A lot of work but no reward (which leads to lack of motivation and turnovers).
