Pros

The associates (most) are great people to work with.

Cons

It is a place that is managed through intimidation. Managers try and pit employees against each other. There is no doing “what’s right or best for the company”, more a power struggle between departments. There is a layer of management (Directors) that have been in power for too long. The swear and degrade employees to the point of tears. At Broadcom it’s all about lining the pockets of the executives, nothing else matters.

Pros

The company provides a good work life balance and good work environment for it's employees. Employees usually get a lot of freedom to implement their ideas and thoughts. Not too much workplace politics and engineers are usually busy with projects to work on

Cons

Lacks good top leadership. Some decisions don't make sense like acquiring the LTE assets and then shutting down the unit within 9 months of it's acquisition. Seems like the unit was just bought to jack-up the stock price after it took a plunge.
