      Great technology company

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval

      Pros

      Working for broadcom, you experience the cutting edge technology. work load seems very difference between team to team, people to people. Total compensation is good, expecially before 2008. All in all, it is very good expierence.

      Cons

      With company today's size, the start up company rewarding style is disappearing very quickly. Significant reward can no longer be distributed to real significant contributors. While project schedule is seeming delayed, some teams are fighting for loading. Recent decision for handling mobile communication chip Bu may be good for businese but most probably not handling correctly, hurt many dedicated employee.

      Good engineers; No leadership

      Principal engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good benefits and facilities, on par with regular big companies. Generally nice people and smart engineers. Lots of technical knowledge in the organization.

      Cons

      Time off policies is ridiculous. In theory it is unlimited but in fact it is very dependent on managers' discretion and therefore creating lots of tensions for just getting time-off. Among the six managers/directors in my group, only two of them would actually give people proper time off. Other four director/manager would use any excuse to discourage people taking time off. Engineers who have family/friends overseas BE AWARE! If you ever want to take vacation overseas (> 2 weeks), they would make it really hard. Lots of low-level managers and some directors have ZERO social abilities or management skills. They have no regard of family/personal needs.

      Good until Beceem acquisition

      Engineering manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      I have learned a lot in the cellular division at Broadcom. I -like many others- got the opportunity to go beyond the initial assignments and learn about many system aspects. Internal transfers are easy if not encouraged. Compensation is OK, used to be much better.

      Cons

      The cellular business got killed by the Beceem acquisition. The VP at Broadcom was buddy with the CEO of Beceem. After 3 years of going nowhere, Broadcom eventually acquired renesas but CEO decided to pull the plug after 9 months. Way to much politics now and those who screwed up never faced the consequence of their acts. Titles are very much inflated and meaningless. Those who just get a free ride get the same recognition as those who do the work.
