Pros

You get RSUs and decent pay.

Cons

They don't care about you and let you know it in all sorts of ways. It's their way to make you always afraid so they can control you. They are culture that values money above all else. Your compensation is good, but they seem to think that means they can treat you like dirt and you are supposed to just shut up and take it (because we pay you enough). You feel like just a number in spreadheet and if the magic number 'the head count spreadheet formula spits out at the end of every month calls for more people to get cut, you feel like you might be next. About 80% of the people I used to work with are gone, large numbers were let go, others forced to quit with unreasonable RTO mandates etc. and others just 'had enough' of it and found a better place. Besides the monetary compensation the culture is based on all sticks and no carrots. It is very hard to work for broadcom and remain enthusiastic about your day to day work. They expect you to 'care about the company' just because they gave you some RSUs, but at least for me it doesn't really work. I used to love my work before broadcom takeover, but now I'm just there to work as little as possible and cache a cheque. I just don't care anymore about the work, since it feels like they'll probably fire me eventually anyway no matter what I do. On top of all that, they also don't seem to really care whether you have the tools needed to be productive day to day. If there is a choice between saving a dollar or two or giving an employee access to some tools that might make them more productive, they will take $ savings every time. So you get to do your job constantly under-resourced.

Pros

You will work 12 hours a day and 7 days a week but you will be paid well and get more equity as a carrot to keep you

Cons

Each division need to hit their quarterly revenue and margin targets - no exceptions nor excuses. If not, layoffs ensure.

Pros

World-class offices. Looked and felt like 5 Star hotel.

Cons

I worked for VMware before its acquisition by Broadcom. On a daily basis I saw language/region based factionalism. There's an in-group run by a particular group and nothing you did was good enough.
