Great employees and interesting products; senior management is 'so-so'.

Pros

Great employees - very experienced and informed. Reasonably flexible with policies and rules. Benefit package is very competive and reasonable generous.

Cons

Lots of management churn. Significant cultural shift from the days of 'Nick' to the currnent management. Business units are not very coordinated, in some ways it's almost like they operate as different companies. The HR department seems to be more concerned with pleasing the whims of senior managers and avoiding litigation than attending to the growth and development of the employees.

Pros

Broadcom benefits from having a great collection of skilled engineers, with very little dead weight. This means that you find yourself working with talented people, who for the most part are enjoying their own work. It pays well, offers good benefits, and while it doesnt always succeed, it certainly tries to maintain a healthy work-life balance. Additionally, I find Broadcom to be a very much empowered company, where I certainly spend my time working constructively on the job I was hired to do, and dont find myself in endless meetings, or held up with endless and unnecessary beurocracy. Lots of little 'extras' help keep the staff happy.

Cons

Like most tech companies, there can be long hours that go with the rewards, most notably around product tapeouts and delivery.
