Such a shame

Pros

Love the company. Maturity has helped with the work/life balance. Good benefits package. Flexible working hours and work from home policy. Base pay with strong ESPP program helps.

Cons

Change from equity compensation to bonus comp is terrible. Equity use to be a significant contributor to overall comp. Now bonuses are given, which is less than 5% and not guaranteed! Top level management is overpaid. Look at the CEO. How the hell does he reap $20M in 2014 after failing to deliver on a multi-year, multi-billion dollar program. No accountability with previous failed acquisitions; the board is overpaid and weak to the whims of the E level execs. Too bad they drove this company into the hands of Hock Gecko, who will undoubtedly slice and dice the company and employees.

Pros

Stock payment plan, good bonuses (but these really come from Rally)

Cons

Broadcom thinks that remote work CANNOT be done and still make a company profitable. Newsflash: a large portion of employees (those with a medical exemption) have been working from home and we were even more profitable than projected. Broadcom is stuck in the 1960s where they think that onboarding someone isn't possible if you're remote. Another newsflash: we can't onboard anyone if we can't hire anyone, and no one wants to work in a place that forces you to risk being exposed to COVID just to meet their "badge-in quota" that they seem to have.

Not recommend after Hock Tan(Avago CEO) takes over

Pros

Before merger with Avago, Broadcom was a great company willing to explore technology and treat employee well. However, things change immediately after Avago's CEO takes over.

Cons

Cannot believe Avago's CEO stop to sponsoring working visa for employee until I realize that if there is one word comes out of Hock's mind, that is cheap. I don't believe any smart or talent people would be willing to work under this kind of CEO.
