Poor Experience For Me, Mgmt Seemed very poor in new product planning

Product manager

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great Benefits, good pay, well respected company with excellent product position in many key accounts. Broadcom as a supplier to many companies will certainly get you in the door easily but then mgmt will screw it up once the wins are in place.

Cons

Very political place to be with performance rated almost like a random number generator. Some can take it though and last many years.

Little to no future prospect at Broadcom DTV. Over 50% lay-off in past 2 years and still fast shrinking revenue.
