A decent place to work.

Staff engineer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Broadcom is a technology firm that places value on it's engineers. There is the opportunity to work with some of the the brightest minds in the industry. The compensation is on par with other semiconductor firms, and the company provides equity compensation in the form of stock options and restricted stock units (RSUs).

Cons

The company has grown substantially in the past few years. The previous feel of a small start-up company is being lost; with over 6,000 employees, Broadcom feels like a big company now. The disadvantages of this are that tasks are more specialized, which comes at the expense for skill development.

there is good, there is bad, and there is management

Business Outlook

Pros

exposure to emerging technologies, if you get into the right team at the right time the opportunities do exist learning to do a lot more with much less there are some very dedicated people at this company, mature and experienced, first line and middle management are very skilled technically the range of products this company produces could be enough to keep the right person busy for an entire lifespan

Cons

if you aren't clique, you're stuck, with poor career advancement programs, you can find yourself unable to succeed there is a contingent of non-technical upper management who are almost completely out of touch with the real and every day requirements of getting the products ready for the market small company mindset is a large problem, but the paranoia element is pervasive

Principal engineer

Business Outlook

Pros

it is a place making all kind of comm ICs. if that fits your major.

Cons

the company has tried so hard to keep the growth and randomly bidding on non-existing opportunities, so it is pretty painful to see there is non long-term benefit (options still worthless after 5 years working here)
