Broadcom reviews

During the covid pandemic, most international software companies let their software engineers WFH. BUT NOT THIS ONE!! - Employees are forced to come to the office by a rotation program. Software engineers are divided into several groups, and when it's your group's turn to show up in the office, you gotta go to the office. They don't care if you need to take public transport to work. They don't care if you have children that you need to take care of when the school is not open. They even check the badge to make sure you actually showed up. If you don't want to come, fine, your only choice is a 3-month no paid leave. - They canceled the yearly salary review/increase this year, during the pandemic, and their explanation is that they want to keep more cash during this special time. However, the management said that productivity actually increased during the pandemic. Is this how you reward your employees?

They sell you an account management position but then give you an employment contract to sign as an end-user sales engineer and there is a very good reason for this. You don't do sales, you are everything and everybody - you are accounting, booking, cash collection, help desk support, invoicing, deep level financial/invoicing problem solver and partner manager however, without any actual infrastructure to support you in these tasks as you are the infrastructure. On top of this mountain of mess there are no tools, historical data or contracts to properly support you in your tasks. There is no presales as CA was cut to zero after the Broadcom takeover so you are also presales but there is no training for you. yet, the expectation to be operational in the second week is there regardless of training. You have to find your own way or go under. It's not sales but administrative work, extenguishing fires and bandaging up deep rifts with the customers and unfullfilled contracts towards them. They package it as 360 account management but experienced people know this has nothing to do with actual account management. It sounds so nice until you start and realize the ship is sinking and you are sinking with it.
