Pros

- it is a stable job

Cons

-When I ask to recommend a friend of mine into the group manager tells me that we are on a hiring "Freeze" and weeks later we hire more people and they are all related to the managers. - Managers tell me that vacation is not a benefit but a privilege. - Vacation takes months to be approved, vacation emails gets ignored even when they have company phones to check emails regularly. - Procedures are made on the spot. When I try to take a 2 week vacation manager tells me I need to put in the request 6m-1y in advance, when I did just that manager tells me my request is too long from now and wont approve. - Favors on top of favors on family related employees. - its not about skills but more about who you know and who you are related to.

Pros

* Great Brand.. Great technological company in US * If the employee is part of hyderabad networking software group, great chance to learn how to play politics in a company * Networking software group at hyderabad teaches how a services company kind of environment can be created in a technological company. Great case study for B-School

Cons

* Hyderabad networking software group is operated by a set of people who create a kind of mafia atmosphere. They exploit broadcom and can go to any extent to save their jobs. * There are a set of people at Broadcom Hyderabad who influence their counterpart US(NC) management through drink parties etc at local star hotel(westin) and get promotions. So, performance is not a criteria at Broadcom Networking Software division at Hyderabad * If some one really would like to step up and do something for the company at Broadcom Hyderabad's networking software divison, bunch of people mentioned above will be ready to demotivate such initiatives because of the insecurity of those people
