Pros

Broadcom is a market leader in networking technology. Pretty everyone in the industry use their chips. Consequently, there is no threat to your job. They pay a good amount of money. Stock options and RSUs. Benefits are outrageously good.

Cons

The primary issue is that being a big organization that has to please everyone, jobs are extremely compartmentalized. Therefore, innovation is only within the boundaries of the job assigned to you. You will never get the big picture. In fact, it is not beneficial for the senior management to let everyone get the big picture. Job growth prospects are fairly limited. The ladder to the CEO has close to 15 steps from the bottom, making it difficult to make any real progress.
