No longer the company I started with

Pros

Good salary, great team of people to work with on a daily basis, lots of opportunity for remote work

Cons

Since being bought out by Avago: - Terrible senior management - Drastic cuts to budgets - More concerned about numbers than making the client's product successful - Job security is thrown out the window - Making the company "more efficient" by just reducing high-cost staff through attrition - Quick to abandon R&D or experimental programs if no immediate profit seen... leads to large layoffs - Insurance changed from excellent PPO to high-deductible(thousands of dollars) HSA insurance In short, they took a company I could have seen myself working with and retiring with after 20+ years and gutted it within a year.

Decent compensation but has downsides

Business Outlook

Pros

Relatively good compensation. Quarterly stock grants. They did have an excellent health plan.

Cons

New management as Broadcom was acquired by Avago (now Broadcom, limited). Executive management motivation is toward max. profits. Change in benefits structure to the negative. Highly political. Culture designed to pit each other against your colleagues. Long hours including, if you're not in the office, harassing phone calls and threats during the weekends and evenings.
