Energetic and fast moving forward company

Pros

lots of chance to learn and work together with many excellent engineers. much information is open to all employee in case he tried find it.

Cons

I don't think managing the organization is good because only partial people are contributing and there are not a few people hard to know what they are doing. And a certain team seems to be sustained for a political reason.

Excellent pay, poor upward mobility

Senior principal engineer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The benefits at Broadcom (pay, stocks, other benefits) are top-notch. The office culture is good, and the managers are quite technical and hands on.

Cons

Very marketing driven company. Upward mobility (as in more responsiblities, etc.) is not really there specially as some of the business units are in a holding pattern and dont have growth (while still being quite profitable).

Pros

Great technology, great engineers. Benefits are great.

Cons

Vacation time are not recorded. Hence you don't accumulate PTO. I would have preferred accrued PTOs over "unlimited" PTO since you would have to request for PTOs to your manager. It's up to your manager to let you have PTO. It's a good gimmick accounting to wipe off PTO liability off the books. I would have preferred better 401K matching. It's half of what my previous company's matching.
