Business Outlook

Pros

Great company to work for, talented and intelligent people all the way up the management ladder. Amazing technology.

Cons

The sale to Avago is going to change the spirit of this company. It will lose all the things that drove innovation and leadership. It will be more focused on near term returns than investing in the future.

Business Outlook

Pros

Great overall benefit, good leadership, lean environment.

Cons

Management agreed to be acquired by a another company that has much lower approval rating in Glassdoor. The future is great for the stock price, but not for the employees, it seems.

Broadcom should you work there or not?

Principal program manager

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good bonuses and Stocks, great engineering teams, challenging projects. If you enjoy layoffs this is the one to join. In the last 4 years have seen 3-4 major layoffs lost count of the slow layoff bleeding that is done.

Cons

Upper management is all about the dollar price and will let go dedicated hard working engineers to improve the stocks and gains for the shareholders. It time US regulations are like Europe for restructuring just for keeping the numbers up and buying companies which you truly cannot afford and the downsizing in other places of the company. Time will tell.. No salary increase for 4 years if you are good with it then great.
