A decent place to work.

Pros

Broadcom is a technology firm that places value on it's engineers. There is the opportunity to work with some of the the brightest minds in the industry. The compensation is on par with other semiconductor firms, and the company provides equity compensation in the form of stock options and restricted stock units (RSUs).

Cons

The company has grown substantially in the past few years. The previous feel of a small start-up company is being lost; with over 6,000 employees, Broadcom feels like a big company now. The disadvantages of this are that tasks are more specialized, which comes at the expense for skill development.

Great employees and interesting products; senior management is 'so-so'.

Business Outlook

Pros

Great employees - very experienced and informed. Reasonably flexible with policies and rules. Benefit package is very competive and reasonable generous.

Cons

Lots of management churn. Significant cultural shift from the days of 'Nick' to the currnent management. Business units are not very coordinated, in some ways it's almost like they operate as different companies. The HR department seems to be more concerned with pleasing the whims of senior managers and avoiding litigation than attending to the growth and development of the employees.
