Pros

1. Opportunities to specialize in certain block designs or gain experience in many different blocks 2. Analog team is absolutely world class 3. Great CAD support 4. Satisfaction of seeing designs make it into final product

Cons

1. Too many cliques, based on university & nationality which can affect promotions 2. BRCM is now a mature company, therefore a lot of work involves upgrading existing designs.

You will appreciate any help and any kindness of humankinds after you worked there

Business Outlook

Pros

relatively higher compensation compared to peer companies

Cons

Cold, not the weather, but the people. About 2 dozen engineers were hired in 2006~2007, more than 50% left the company in 2008, either was squeezed off or laid off. Because that team was merged from a startup, in sake of their own job security, the job related engineering information is not well shared among team workers, especially to new employees. They expect the new employee cannot guess out their old things, then give the new guys underperformance in review and squeeze them off. Intense office politics and high turnover rate.

Not a bad place to be.

Business Outlook

Pros

Lots of cash in the bank means money is available to fund projects. Vendors are willing to put extra effort to win business from Broadcom. Health benefits are fairly generous.

Cons

Long hours are to be expected. Review process is fundamentally flawed. Expect to be a pawn in departmental turf wars.
