Beware SW Engineers

Principal software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good Comm Scientists and Engineers. Most I've met are dedicated, hard working and believe they have Broadcom's best interest at heart. Decent RF and modem baseband HW.

Cons

The amount of SW in required for new products in this space is increasing exponentially. The current management at all levels doesn't have the training or experience to deal with that. This is The issue that will prevent Broadcom from competing effectively with Intel and Qualcomm.

Mobile platforms is out of shape

Senior manager

Business Outlook

Pros

Within Broadcom, there are pockets of great people that it is a privilege to work with. Often, their managers don't get it however or they doing the wrong thing, but this doesn't stand in the way of enjoying working with them.

Cons

The infinite holiday policy that stops you taking off over 2 weeks without managers approval (and some managers are idiots and stop this from happening). Majority of the engineers are either not worthy of being employed or worse, doing mischief instead of real work. Its clear that rivalries between teams is very unhealthy and you end up with countries such as India being 'at war' with other engineering teams for interesting work, reqs or other medals that the company gives out to people with the best strategies.
