Pros

opportunity to learn; new facilities at work

Cons

long working hours; not much visibility from upper management; benefits keep getting cut back year-over-year because of crazy hiring in wireless division but no real revenue seen yet; stock price is going nowhere.

Pros

Broadcom has been a leader in almost all the areas it competes in. Senior management has been superior in strategy and execution. Great compensation including decent salary and generous stock awards.

Cons

Lack of systematic professional development and training could be a drag for such a company with big growth potential.

Business Outlook

Pros

The company has a lot of cash on hand and they tend to give great compensation . The benefits are great and most of the engineers are very open and friendly. Also a nice cafe for lunch.

Cons

Problems are that there is a clear cut salary cap, so don't expect too many raises too quickly. They tend to hire mostly experienced candidates, which makes it difficult for new hires to enter the company. Also if you are under 35, you will have trouble meeting people your own age. I worked in IS and work-life balance is tough. Expect at least 50-60 hours of work, but at least
