      Pros

      The associates (most) are great people to work with.

      Cons

      It is a place that is managed through intimidation. Managers try and pit employees against each other. There is no doing “what’s right or best for the company”, more a power struggle between departments. There is a layer of management (Directors) that have been in power for too long. The swear and degrade employees to the point of tears. At Broadcom it’s all about lining the pockets of the executives, nothing else matters.

      It has become one of the mediocre big company that cannot develop anything new organically.

      Pros

      The pay is fair. It actually pays average people too much and not enough for high performers. The work-life balance is really different from group to group. Promotion opportunities are good, if you like a fancier title every couple of years.

      Cons

      No accountability for upper management. They screwed up so many key decisions but the people should be fired are still up there making ridiculous amount of money. Vacation policy is ridiculous. You supposedly can request unlimited vacation each year. But if you are a responsible person care about the projects you are working on, you would not get any because you do not have time to take vacation.

      No vision, no leadership.

      Pros

      The compensation is very good. The engineers and lower management are truly excellent. You will work on something good and exciting.

      Cons

      Baseband business closure is a good example of why the company will have to change or face extinction. No strategic leadership from CEO or CTO and top management. They are not interested in investing and building organically. Cannot steer a technology. Cannot build engineering organization. They will just acquire next company and put sales targets on them. Then leave the integration mess to managers and excellent engineers bail them out of trouble. There is no real R&D effort, only on the books. R&D is considered what engineering teams come up with themselves. Zero accountability at executive level for repeated failures and missteps in baseband business. Inner circle power dominates business decisions. For these reasons other businesses will start failing over time and when key people leave.
