Employees are part of a globally recognized company that is a leader in cloud infrastructure and digital workspace technology, which promotes professional growth and learning. VMware is known for its strong emphasis on work-life balance, providing flexible working arrangements and a supportive culture to ensure employees can effectively manage their personal and professional lives. The company also offers competitive compensation packages, comprehensive health benefits, and retirement plans, along with access to wellness programs.

Cons

Working for Broadcom can present challenges, such as a highly competitive and high-pressure environment that may not suit everyone. Employees may experience strict project deadlines and intense workloads, which can lead to work-life balance difficulties. The company's focus on aggressive growth and acquisitions can sometimes result in organizational changes and uncertainties, potentially affecting job security and team dynamics. Additionally, the culture at Broadcom is often described as more traditional and hierarchical, which might limit opportunities for creative expression and innovation for some employees. Moreover, there are reports of less emphasis on employee benefits and perks compared to some other tech companies, which could impact overall job satisfaction.

Pros

If you can stand it long enough to vest RSUs, you'll make some cash.

Cons

Leadership literally says in All Hands meeting that the only thing that matters is the stock price, that they don't give good benefits because they use RSUs instead, and that employees having children shouldn't expect "special treatment" in the form of parental leave because they can just pay for it from their salary. I've never worked for a company that was so actively hostile toward its employees. Also, HR is non-existent. Got a problem with your paycheck? Don't expect anyone to answer your email or call about it for a month, if then. This place is a joke. But hey, if you're young and single and healthy and want to make a bunch of cash from stocks, and don't care about your fellow employees, go nuts.
