Very different company now

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Salary is better than most 401K matching is excellent HSA options are very good RSUs are typically generous End of year bonus is also usually good

Cons

Layoffs are constant and not well thought out. Financial goals are very short term and investment in products for 2 years from now seems to be missing.

High risk, but excellent compensation

Senior product manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Broadcom pays its employees well and offers very good benefits in addition to 401K matching, stock grants, and a significant bonus if the company and its divisions do well. The CEO is very straight-forward; he says what he is going to do, and then does what he said. In addition, the company is doing well financially and the stock price continues to go up.

Cons

There are very few perks (other than the bonus and the stock grants), and the business units are under pressure to minimize costs. The company runs very lean, and the standard way of lowering costs is to eliminate jobs. A job with Broadcom is risky, but it pays well.

Good salary - no innovation

Software developer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Really good salary and in my case, I was with the same team for 10+ years so chemistry was almost perfect.

Cons

Upper management does not want to invest in innovation. They simply want to buy up other companies, trim the fat, drive up the share price and then rinse & repeat. CEO is very egotistical, thinks he knows what's going on inside each business unit (impossible).
