Pros

They provide broadcom shares every quarter

Cons

The environment is not at all good for work, For almost 2 years, every day people are scared with layoff news. And also, no benefits in broadcom except the stock options they provide. They use "providing stocks every quarter" as a marketing strategy to hold on employees.
