Pros

Good pay. Technical challenges abound. Great team of very competent Engineers. I've never worked with such a great bunch of teammates as at Broadcom.

Cons

Beginning to become a stale work environment. Morale is at an all time low. (I've been here 9 years) Under staffed to complete tasks. We are winning new contracts but no new head count. It will cost us in the long run.

Pros

Broadcom is up and coming and has a stong pull in many different fields therefore is better able to manage during a recession than many other companies. The employees are hard working and very motivated to work hard. Communication moves quick with constant emails throughout. heavy workload and weak communication between groups.

I like the environment, but the dress code is loose, which i personally dont like. however that may be a plus for other people. But not too much negatives. although i dont like the fact that they waste money just like other companies. yes!

Pros

Good salary, decent benefits, but long work hours and number of critical issues that always pop up really is not a mark of good organizing here. They need to change the work culture a little bit, atleast in my department.

Cons

Long work hours and so many times critical issues are always there. If you are in a support team be prepared for the constant spikes in work hours. Stock options are pretty bad, considering BRCM stock goes up and down so many tims, pretty much so many of them here ends up in a big loss as they keep on waiting for that golden price jump.
