Business Outlook

Pros

Stock payment plan, good bonuses (but these really come from Rally)

Cons

Broadcom thinks that remote work CANNOT be done and still make a company profitable. Newsflash: a large portion of employees (those with a medical exemption) have been working from home and we were even more profitable than projected. Broadcom is stuck in the 1960s where they think that onboarding someone isn't possible if you're remote. Another newsflash: we can't onboard anyone if we can't hire anyone, and no one wants to work in a place that forces you to risk being exposed to COVID just to meet their "badge-in quota" that they seem to have.
