Pros

Good stock option which is totally luck and good timing base to survive till that time

Cons

Broadcom is completely dependent of legacy employees, who hold all the project dependency and no one can survive without their wish as no project documents and hard to grab everything only through source code. The main strategy is to hire new goat to slaughter during layoffs. Hire new resources, don't gave them space to survive, and layoffs the candidate before mature its stock (yearly) and again hire new resource. It is just to make secure legacy employee jobs and stability. Management treat software professionals like a slave and work like a robot. Managers are totally dummy and non technical, non professional and even not able to realized the legacy engineers politics. Here managers are totally just blindly follow the instruction coming from USA and don't have any individual strength. HR is totally worthless, they meant only to make employees day to day life hell. like how to push software professionals to work from office even in covid crisis(where every week around 50-60 employess are infected with corona in office) , no WFH policy as such (it is just to make a fool to external new candidate) Yes good stock option is their but it is just a carrot hanging on the pole in front of goat, just as a part of greedy algorithm to impress new jonnie and which he/she will never get. It is not my individual thoughts, just think 100 times before joining to Broadcom, because once you trapped in this situation, it is really tough to come out from them and find another similar level job.
