Business Outlook

Pros

Good compensation package, RSUs make future bonuses only dependent on BRCM stock value. Good teams. Competent, hard working and sociable colleagues.

Cons

Too much work, conveyor belt of new designs, requires regular weekend working and long days. No vacation accrual, vacation at manager's discretion.

Business Outlook

Pros

flexible working time; Very good management from 1st/2nd level managers; easy to switch the work assignment sometimes.

Cons

Very little interaction between different BUs; No clear long term direction for some groups; work load for different engineers could vary a lot, and it usually will not be reflected into the stock bonus.
