Pros

Broadcom has good brand recognition with customers

Cons

Management runs the company as 19+ silo divisions that are the shells of former companies that were acquired. Management's strategy is to continuously reduce cost (headcount) from each division. Many employees must question their long term job security

There is usually good pay, and the rest is all very corporate and stagnant

Business Outlook

Pros

Compensation, Acquisitions, Consistency, Ability to focus on technical work only, reasonable hours

Cons

Very dated remote working policies and very few perks, other than compensation which was mostly from their stock grants. Managers are paid an absolutely ridiculously high salary with regard to their actual performance and qualifications. Some on-call and frequent weekend work was required for my position.
