Treats Employees as Slaves

R&d software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Exceptionally Good Stock Options. that’s it.

Cons

Treats employees as slaves, even in harsh covid times forced employees to come to office - only for 2 - 3 months is was 100% WFH. Rest of the time employees were forced to come to office. When other companies were trying to help their employees Broadcom was busy making plans on how to force employees to come to office. Meagre salary hikes, instead Broadcom wants to trade off salary with RSU’s. No respect for employees concerns on health and career.

Pros

There is no pros, HR services are subcontracted and work like carrot on a stick.

Cons

Without going into details of the HR policy, I want to spare anyone who might be interested in working here to STAY AWAY

Base Pay not competitive but RSUs are unparalleled. Not apt for work culture

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

1. Overall CTC (Pay) is good (due to RSUs and ESPP option) 2. RSUs are unparalleled and are vested every 3 months 3. Highly rated Tech professionals to work with and around. Great place for learning if you can put efforts in learning and socializing accordingly

Cons

1. HR is for namesake .. Company policies are highly non employee-friendly 2. Promotions are rare and you need to pull of magics to move to next level or a decade of service may be (even for lower engineering roles) 3. Work Culture is bad as per Industry standard. No Events or any kind of Team Activities. It is all work and work. 4. Base pay is not at par to Industry Standard. Very less in-fact 5. Time flexibility you can avail, but the amount of work anyway will lead you to spending more than industry average hours
