Broadcom is a very large company, but they value their employees and the benefits are life changing!

Pros

To be honest, when I first interviewed for this position, I was not sure how long I would be able to stay. I had worked for a large company similar to Broadcom years ago and I felt like a number. This is absolutely not the case at Broadcom. The hiring package, benefits, flexibility is unbeatable. I have nothing negative to say at all! I am not sure why others are not jumping to join this great company. I literally love my job and my manager. My team is amazing and I have a great work / life balance.

Cons

I really do not have anything negative to say at all. I am very happy with my job at Broadcom. The only other job that valued me as much as Broadcom has was my first real job out of college. Shortly thereafter, employers leaned into "everyone's replaceable", but today, that isn't the case. We need and want good people. I encourage you to apply and take the first step to potentially changing your life. I could have never been able to purchase my own home, be debt free, have a solid retirement plan and great benefits.
