Demanding but varied and rewarding.

Principal engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The calibre of engineers is high. You can work with and learn from some good people. The work is interesting and sometimes demanding. Opportunities for promotion and growing responsibility exist, but can be limited in some teams. High performance is well rewarded. The office environment is friendly, casual and flexible.

Cons

No formal graduate training plan. Limited training or support if you can't match the capabilities of existing staff - depending on your manager it can be a sink or swim workspace. HR policies are inflexible.

It's ok, nothing special. Broadcom doesn't do much for personal growth

Senior staff ic design engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

It's slow, and easy, not that fast paced. Good for family oriented people. Coworkers are in general nice and mellow.

Cons

Again, too slow, not too much personal growth. Not a lot of excitement going on.

good work place environment.

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Promotes family (annual family day). Good gyms and showers and cafeteria. Good benefits and time off. Makes training accessible and encourages you to do it.

Cons

Senior management sometimes appears distant. I had very few career opportunities in my department, but was in operations, not engineering. Broadcom is engineering dominant.
