Hostile policies

Sowtware engineer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Generous initial RSU grant and supposedly more each year

Cons

RTO policy seems designed to get people to quit so that they don’t have to pay you severance. HR is a joke, was told to email the CEO with my concern since it “wasn’t an HR problem”. CEO can clearly make tons of money for shareholders but is past his best-by date and his judgement is clearly deteriorating with recent acquisitions. Company is overall run like a financial firm and treats tech workers like indentured servants.

Join Broadcom Hyderabad only if no other option

Principal software engineer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

None as Many good culture companies are giving high packages these days. Nothing special about Broadcom now. Don’t loose your mental health here. You will have long term affects on your physical health.

Cons

Hyderabad - below the belt politics. Favouritism and bullying are just starters. You think you can handle but the old timer alliances will surprise you by unethical level they can go. Ever heard ppl switching off your test bed deliberately to delay your work Majority speaks in Telugu language at office so forget socialising if you don’t speak Telugu. Meetings also ppl talk a lot in telugu Definition of work done is different for you and managers favourites in a very unethical way.

Pros

1)Transportation cabs to most important locations. 2)Salary can reach as high as 25 lacs per annum if your experience is 15-20 years.

Cons

1) Poor salary 2) You will be mostly laid off before your promised stocks(RSU) are vested 3) If you are a good performer, you will not be laid off but RSU stocks will be denied by poor performance rating 4) If you dare to question, HR will black mail with "bad conduct" certificate to virtually finish your career. 5) HR will secretly provide bad feedback if you move to other company
