Pros

Good salary, decent benefits, but long work hours and number of critical issues that always pop up really is not a mark of good organizing here. They need to change the work culture a little bit, atleast in my department.

Cons

Long work hours and so many times critical issues are always there. If you are in a support team be prepared for the constant spikes in work hours. Stock options are pretty bad, considering BRCM stock goes up and down so many tims, pretty much so many of them here ends up in a big loss as they keep on waiting for that golden price jump.

Pros

High pay, good benefits, stock options

Cons

Soulless corporate structure and demands. Broadcom acquired the company I worked for and drastically increased prices immediately, alienating well over 50% of our customers.
