Business Outlook
Pros
The engineering staff is very knowledgeable and, generally speaking, Broadcom is far superior in its execution than its competitors
Cons
The base compensation is low compared to our similarly sized competitors (Qualcomm, TI, etc). This used to be due to the fact that the compensation package was tilted heavily towards equity, but any employee who didn't join Broadcom before the year 2000 did not really get significant benefit from the equity package. Now, with the stock price being flat to down over the last 6 years, the overall compensation at Broadcom is low.
