Great company, but will it last?

Business Outlook

Pros

The company really does try to penetrate new markets.

Cons

The company aims for high volume markets by targeting the low tier. In this regard you don't really get to work on the latest technology, and Broadcom is always one step behind the industry leader.

Business Outlook

Pros

Free drinks, juice, soda, tea, coffee, etc. but no alcohol. Food in the cafeteria is fairly inexpensive. Everyone I worked with had a very high level of expertise. Communication was pretty open. Almost everyone in the group was very helpful to me as an intern. The company works on cutting edge stuff and the work is challenging and fun.

Cons

My pay as an intern was on the low side. $20.50/hour + 1.5X for OT. This was the summer after I finished college, right before starting grad school. It is sometimes a pain to do a teleconference with other engineers working in Irvine, CA.
