No work/life balance; low level managers show no respect to teams

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

- Challenging work - OK compensation (but get worse each year) - Relative stable company in this bad economy.

Cons

- No work/life balance. - In fire fighting mode all the times, reactive mode. - Lower level managers (in MPG) have access to you anytime (late night and/or weekends) - Low level managers show no respect to teams - No vacation time allocated. Need VP approval for more than 2 weeks but most of the times your managers won't even consider it so VP does not need to approve. - Don't know who our HR representative is. If there is an issue with managers don't know who to turn to. - Engineers are overloaded - No support and encouragement for higher education

Poor Experience For Me, Mgmt Seemed very poor in new product planning

Product manager

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great Benefits, good pay, well respected company with excellent product position in many key accounts. Broadcom as a supplier to many companies will certainly get you in the door easily but then mgmt will screw it up once the wins are in place.

Cons

Very political place to be with performance rated almost like a random number generator. Some can take it though and last many years.
