Pros

Good salary, decent benefits, but long work hours and number of critical issues that always pop up really is not a mark of good organizing here. They need to change the work culture a little bit, atleast in my department.

Cons

Long work hours and so many times critical issues are always there. If you are in a support team be prepared for the constant spikes in work hours. Stock options are pretty bad, considering BRCM stock goes up and down so many tims, pretty much so many of them here ends up in a big loss as they keep on waiting for that golden price jump.

Pros

Broadcom is a technology firm that places value on it's engineers. There is the opportunity to work with some of the the brightest minds in the industry. The compensation is on par with other semiconductor firms, and the company provides equity compensation in the form of stock options and restricted stock units (RSUs).

Cons

The company has grown substantially in the past few years. The previous feel of a small start-up company is being lost; with over 6,000 employees, Broadcom feels like a big company now. The disadvantages of this are that tasks are more specialized, which comes at the expense for skill development.
