Decent pay but dead end for your career, toxic culture

Line technician

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

- Decent pay and decent benefits. - Handed the COVID-19 pandemic very well with their employees in mind. - Operations team is fantastic.

Cons

- Certain departments (like Industrial Engineering, Change Management, Project Management) have a free pass to be rude and treat the operations team with disrespect. Management is aware of the issue and doesn't seem to care. - Company doesn't value nurturing their employees. If you want to learn, you have to do it yourself. Don't expect any help from anyone in the company and expect people to be annoyed when you try and learn new skills. - Overall, culture in the Fort Collins branch is a wash. Everyone is trying to push each other down instead of helping each-other succeed.

Good compensation, too much politics

Business Outlook

Pros

The compensation at Broadcom is one of the best in the market. Stocks options given are good and would be difficult to match outside.

Cons

Work culture is really bad, HR is just for namesake and we were forced to be in person in office during the 2 years of the pandemic due to which many quit. Management includes people who have been in the company for a long time and they hoard the information and share only with employees with whom they have a bias. Work politics decides who stays and who leaves.
