Pros

4+ weeks time off Great benefits Relatively competitive salary Relaxed office environment. Very lean organizational structure, not stuffed with mid-level managers. Great co-workers

Cons

Total compensation is heavily based on company performance (stock price and bonus metrics). Yearly raises and promotions are monetarily very small. Promotion criteria is based almost entirely on how long you've been there rather than ability or results. Work from home policy isn't great. Mainframe software isn't very interesting and can get pretty tedious and boring (opinion).

Pros

Huge stock option which is touch and luck base to get after 12-15 month

Cons

I don't have words to explain about Broadcom India work culture. Always hire and fire mode and new hires always are the goat to slaughter. Old legacy employees are full of politics and even they are not proper engineers most of the employees are pass out from very below average colleges and working with Broadcom since starting may be 6-10 years so they are like a frog in a dirty well. Company environment is full of politics, dirt,stressfull. Old legacy employee don't loose their dependency on the module, application and product and always give a hard time to new resources and later on that resource are eligible for layoff. Managers are really a dump and non technical and don't have any skills and not capabile to judge the internal politics within the team..just dummy managers. HR is only evolve to maintain in and out time of employess and how to force the employess to work from office even in Covid peak. Still in 21 century company having in and out time constraint, no WFH as such but on paper WFH with hidden terms and condition. company offers huge amount of stocks to trap/attract new employess but stock get vested after 12-15 month and legacy employee and management not allow to sustain you till that time.
