Broadcom reviews

They are a hardware company and have no interest in meeting the needs of a modern software company. They don't have much empathy for humans & the values of the broader company are very money-centric. We've lost a lot of people and are losing more because we're being forced to move to Broomfield from Denver and Boulder. That puts pressure on the business unit and every individual and forces continual, often difficult change. Rally still has some great people, but it is being forced to be a much more corporate culture.

The focus is more on financial engineering than bold technical innovation. The main strategy by management is to buy other companies with established niches, and keep improving the received products until the market has dried up, then repeat. Their is no room for home-grown new products or bold new directions. This can make being an engineer feel humdrum by its constraints. Also there is relentless cost reduction, where basically everyone everywhere is working harder each year, with continual periodic layoffs.
