Long work hours

Staff engineer

Pros

Good salary, decent benefits, but long work hours and number of critical issues that always pop up really is not a mark of good organizing here. They need to change the work culture a little bit, atleast in my department.

Cons

Long work hours and so many times critical issues are always there. If you are in a support team be prepared for the constant spikes in work hours. Stock options are pretty bad, considering BRCM stock goes up and down so many tims, pretty much so many of them here ends up in a big loss as they keep on waiting for that golden price jump.

Business Outlook

Pros

Free drinks, juice, soda, tea, coffee, etc. but no alcohol. Food in the cafeteria is fairly inexpensive. Everyone I worked with had a very high level of expertise. Communication was pretty open. Almost everyone in the group was very helpful to me as an intern. The company works on cutting edge stuff and the work is challenging and fun.

Cons

My pay as an intern was on the low side. $20.50/hour + 1.5X for OT. This was the summer after I finished college, right before starting grad school. It is sometimes a pain to do a teleconference with other engineers working in Irvine, CA.
