Great RSU's, terrible quality of life.

Pros

Equity compensation is generous. 401k match is decent.

Cons

You are nothing more than a cog in a machine. Even if you meet or exceed their demanding performance metrics, you will live in fear of losing your job constantly. The belief is that you can be replaced easily. However, they refuse to backfill for employees who have left, leaving teams as skeletons. Be prepared to do the work of 2-3 people and be unappreciated for it except by your direct manager (who often has their hands tied and is unable to do anything for you anyway). Good luck making career advancements, it's a bureaucratic nightmare process to even attempt it, though I was successful once.

Pros

- Decent stock options - Division leadership is aggressive in promoting innovation

Cons

- The response to COVID by Broadcom globally is a bad joke. Essentially all workers are considered "essential" and must work shifts in the office. In the Prague office, we all have access to the VPN and can work safely from home without any significant

It's all about the money...

Pros

- Great comp - good base pay, everyone gets annual bonus plus stock equity (RSUs not options) - Stock is growing - looking forward to when I will be a shareholder (and not an employee) - Minimal management structure (both a pro and con)

Cons

- Zero corporate culture - just a collection of acquired businesses expected to drive high-margin revenue - which is OK, but there is no corporate "Broadcom" message/theme/culture other than maximizing revenue at extremely high margins - No investment in employee career growth or opportunities to advance - Inflexible, often draconian HR policies - Don't care about customer experience or customer sat - especially with "low revenue" accounts - Everything is done on the extreme cheap - Implemented aggressive return to office policies during covid-19 - even though many positions can work from home. Now tracking employees via forced smart phone app on corporate phones. Really???
