Pros

Inflated employee titles. Easy and superficial promotion process. Seemingly successful business and operation in hot product areas. Low barrier in getting hired.

Cons

Years have passed by since the time I decided to leave this employer. I told myself those 4 years when I worked with Broadcom were the darkest years in my career. Now looking back, What I told myself turned even more true.

Pros

The managers are OK with employees. The engineers are good at their specific expertise. Work and life balance is adequate.

Cons

It doesn't provide profit-sharing bonus for ordinary employees. Only some top engineers, managers and senior executives can get bonus. In addition, it lacks an overall strategy for new business opportunities like cellular. Insufficient investment at a delayed timing makes it unable to compete in this market.
