Pros

Good place to work technically and learn You can make good money through ESPP and RSU's for short term provided you bargain for them while entering

Cons

Lot of work pressure Policies are not at all employee friendly The way the company lays of employees is very bad. Lay off's can happen anytime !!! The way broadcom handled renesas mobile acquisition is proof of this. While acquiring renesas mobile they laid off many employees without any notice and when they closed renesas mobile (within 10 months !!!!) they were little better.

Pros

- Excellent culture and emphasis on work life balance results in motivated and happy employees. Colleagues were generally friendly and helpful. - Training provided as well as good knowledge transfer led to quicker on the job learning - Perks pretty good (ESPP), decent amount of events to energize employees and remind them that life isn't always about work.

Cons

- Career prospects may be limited somewhat. Full spectrum of roles may not be always available at specific offices. Recent restructuring/outsourcing of jobs can also trim opportunities to rotate/gain exposure. - Pay may be lower than market rate - Professional roles may still see moderate amounts of manual/administrative duties.

Work with very qualified people. 10% of all Broadcom's employees have Ph.D.'s.

Cons

Company grew too fast. Large company still operates like small. Hard to get your work done when you don't have the info you need to get it done. company used to have a market-lead pay strategy. Now they pay below the market.
