Save for the "Security Team", a decent place to work...

Senior principal engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

1. Good RSU and Bonus Program - Company tries really hard to KEEP talented staff 2. Decent amount of Innovation going on - enough budget to "try" new things that aren't always "by the book" 3. Relatively "flexible" hours 4. Cross Functional work relatively easy, w/out major road blocks

Cons

1. Facility Security team run by rather infantile "Toy Cops". 2. Hard to be "heard" in such a large organization.

No $$ for R&D but shares the prosperity with employees

Engineer

Business Outlook

Pros

Broadcom gives excellent bonuses now but not when I was there. I have heard numbers like 35% of salary!

Cons

Hock Tan does not believe in funding R&D projects for pursing new markets. His approach is to purchase companies that have significant market share and profit then cut most the staff and sustain the current product until it no longer makes enough of a profit to warrant keeping it. All hands meetings changed from topics like new products and road maps to topics like gross margin and whether your business group was above or below the line of doom of profitability. If your below the 50% margin line, good luck. Way to few doing way to much work. No IT and cut tool expenses to the bone.
