Great company, but will it last?

Staff engineer

Business Outlook

Pros

The company really does try to penetrate new markets.

Cons

The company aims for high volume markets by targeting the low tier. In this regard you don't really get to work on the latest technology, and Broadcom is always one step behind the industry leader.

We are doing well at Mobcom. But we dont exactly control our own destiny. We never have, and this has not changed.

Business Outlook

Pros

Broadcom offers a stable workplace. The engineers there are motivated, competent and responsive. Management does a decent job of communicating goals, achievements and the immediate agenda. The Mobcom Business Unit where I work has been recently successful at achieving some design wins. The technology development at Broadcom is very well executed in IC design.

Cons

Broadcom has struggled to innovate especially in Mobile Communications Technology. It is a place of execution, not of innovation. The downside is that the focus is always on the short term at Mobile Comm BU. Middle management and most staff at Broadcom's Mobile Comm is mostly focused on internal power struggles and fixed pie calculations within the company rather than a keen focus on the external customer.
