Broadcom is Dead

Business Outlook

Pros

Broadcom USED TO BE a great company, forward thinking, intelligent people, productive / fun environment, concerned with doing the right thing, but the executive staff betrayed the employees who worked so hard to build the company by selling out to Avago.

Cons

Understand that "Broadcom Ltd" is not Broadcom. It is Avago with a stolen, unearned brand duct-taped to the door. If you are thinking of working here, read the reviews of Avago. That is where you would be working.

Good & Stable Company with Poor Benefits

Principal product engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

- good work environment - flexible work hours - on-site Gym - Stable job and company doing great - Good health insurance benefits

Cons

- Poor 401K matching - Zero vacation (advertised as unlimited vacation), no time bank accrual. Obviously no cash out option either. - Cannot take more than 2 weeks off at a time. Information not shared by hiring manage or HR during interview process. Absolutely a big no for someone like me who travel back home to Asia. - Avoid getting job in Ops, treated as foster child. Mind-set in company, "BU bring revenue, OPS is cost overhead". - Product Engineering role is technically a Program Manager role.
