Pros

Smart people to work with. Learned a lot. Flex time was good. Benefits were good.Career development was decent.

Cons

Work/Life balance was poor. Too many global locations led to many meetings at all hours of the day and night. As the company got bigger, it became more process oriented and management heavy. It used to be much more nimble in the earlier years. It took them too long to make product line decisions, leading to closure of many business units such as the closure of the mobile cellular BU.

Pros

Inflated employee titles. Easy and superficial promotion process. Seemingly successful business and operation in hot product areas. Low barrier in getting hired.

Cons

Years have passed by since the time I decided to leave this employer. I told myself those 4 years when I worked with Broadcom were the darkest years in my career. Now looking back, What I told myself turned even more true.
