Pros

Daily challenges keep the work exciting. Its great working side by side with some of the best engineers I've ever met.

Cons

Career paths are limited - there is very little opportunity to change roles. Its now over 8,000 employees and is getting a lot of 'big company' problems. Bean counters now run the show, instead of engineers. Why Broadcom can not execute and bring to market a world class processor for the mobile market is beyond me.

Pros

Exciting field. Lot of smart people. Nice location and facilities.

Cons

Extremely political and hierarchical. Plenty of internal drama and backstabbing. Work load is ridiculously heavy and treatment of employees is way below par. New employees are "hazed" and set up to fail in order to prove themselves. Organization is really top-heavy. Everybody is a director of something it seems. HR doesn't care about you as a person unless there is a possibility BRCM may get sued.
