A terrible place to work!

Senior engineer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Broadcom has vet solid top management and great engineering

Cons

Unfortunatly all levels of management below the C level are just overgrow kids. They have no management skill and are the least business mature team I've ever seen in a technology company. Pay is far below the industry norm and the culture expects you to work 70 hour weeks on top of it. Broadcom is a company that suffers from it's founder's cowboy, break the rules (and the law) attitude and will never be a good place to work. Avoid it if at all possible

Was: A task driven smaller company, Now: Adopting a bureaucratic big company model really fast

Business Outlook

Pros

Engineer competency above average. Might be an above average career choice depending on particular group.

Cons

Almost a bureaucratic big company by now, driven by executives from other bureaucratic companies. Management at all levels tend to overestimate themselves technically and politically, not ready for challenges from latest technologies. Stock based compensation going down fast.
