Pros

Old Broadcom (before Avago) was the best company I've ever worked for. I doubt I will ever see that caliber of employees matched. Some of those people still remain and the pay is great. The Company still has great name recognition and always impresses on my resume.

Cons

No longer an innovator More yes men than creative thinkers Employees struggling to survive rather than improve Somewhat cutthroat
