      Good place to work in

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The company prospects are very good. Management always informs employees of things that are going on within the company. Nothing is held a secret. There is an open forum where employees and management can discuss anything. Employee's opinions and suggestions are all considered. Broadcom prides itself with being generous with stock compensation, and seeing as how the stock is going up, everyone is motivated to work. There are also free drinks and food all the time so this helps quite a bit in liking the work environment.

      Cons

      Since Richmond is a remote site, there is less budget for social activities (although I don't know if all the other sites and headquarter have the same issue.

      Compensation needs to be improved

      Senior staff design engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The engineering staff is very knowledgeable and, generally speaking, Broadcom is far superior in its execution than its competitors

      Cons

      The base compensation is low compared to our similarly sized competitors (Qualcomm, TI, etc). This used to be due to the fact that the compensation package was tilted heavily towards equity, but any employee who didn't join Broadcom before the year 2000 did not really get significant benefit from the equity package. Now, with the stock price being flat to down over the last 6 years, the overall compensation at Broadcom is low.

      Good company to work for, if you're in the right group.

      Hardware design engineer

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Decent pay with stock benefits. Good Cafeteria. Some groups have really interesting technology. Mid-level management pretty solid. Good balance of work and life. Company seems really interested in retaining good talent (after seeing a bunch walk out). Seems to invest well in R&D for critical groups.

      Cons

      Not easy to transfer job functions (ie from group to group) It seems generally not to be encouraged. It started to have that "big company" feel to it. When you need help you have to traverse the management ladder. Sometimes high level management is short sighted on certain projects. Some less visible groups can go underfunded.
