Broadcom reviews

good people are leaving as competitors are scooping them up... couple of bad acquisitions by the company management which has hurt company bad...bay area salary is below par and probably primary reason for good people leaving the company left and right...there is no vacation policy (called as unlimited vacation) but most of the people are not able to take it at all as the higher ups don't encourage it....

- Work atmosphere is un-human. People are treated as slaves. Long hours are just assumed. Taking your vacation is considered a privilege. - Bad management (they are almost exclusively former engineers) - Lots of not-nice people to deal with. Not very many people to learn from; looks like only incompetent people stayed and everyone who was any good left. (Those very few good people left, please don't feel offended when reading this.) Another group of people who stays is guys who were with the company for many years, possibly expecting severance package if they are laid off. - Poor code-base - Lack of documentation - Forget about specs, just code something - Development is done in constant fire-fighting mode and too much chaos
