Pros

None, soooo many No Pros. It's a zero star experience all the way.

Cons

There are so many cons about Broadcom. Literally, so many 'cons' about the inhumane CEO, executive and HR team and the absolutely abysmal Titanic size disaster of a takeover of VMware. I've never seen anything like it in my entire career and I pray it's a one and done and never again. It was a complete mess from lack of communication, to incorrect information, to no communication, to no response from HR, to a crazed Slack channel with 35000 people trying to find out who is at the helm, if anyone of this sinking ship, to absolute chaos among employees, customers and partners, leaving thousands of people unsure if they were still employed or a customer or a partner. The icing on the iceberg was the gutting of the award winning VMware Partner Connect Partner Program and destruction of one of the largest partner ecosystems in enterprise tech and then the audacity to disregard them resulting in irritating 50k+ partners across the world and then the dismantling all the good work that the amazing partner marketing and sales teams did together over the years. It's very clear that the only thing that the CEO, Hock Tan and his minions care about is profit and plastic widgets. When it comes to people, they have zero use for them. In the real world, outside of this distopian tech company, people matter, and if you're human I advise that you run as fast as you can away from the Broadcom vortex of dismal, spiraling despair and doom. Nothing grows there, it's a barren cubicle desert. VMware is gone and the amazingly talented, intelligent, empathetic, kind and competent professionals are long gone, off to do inspiring, good things with their lives and work. Onwards!

Pros

Stock price!!!! This is the only good thing at Broadcom.

Cons

Everything else is just plain horrible!!! Broadcom acquired VMware and let a very large amount of employees go. While they were on WARN, they lost all access to any systems, including support request systems. They even messed up a lot of people payroll on 12/15. The money never processed to the employees' checking accounts. They notified some today that within another day or two, the pay will be processed. So, it will arrive in their accounts a week late. Totally unprofessional!!! Stay away from this company!!!!!

Pros

Generous initial RSU grant and supposedly more each year

Cons

RTO policy seems designed to get people to quit so that they don’t have to pay you severance. HR is a joke, was told to email the CEO with my concern since it “wasn’t an HR problem”. CEO can clearly make tons of money for shareholders but is past his best-by date and his judgement is clearly deteriorating with recent acquisitions. Company is overall run like a financial firm and treats tech workers like indentured servants.
