Pros

1. Exposure to cutting edge technology. Can work with the latest EDA tools 2. Some very qualified colleagues 3. Management is quite good - appreciation (spot awards) is much better than other companies I have worked with 4. Project planning and tracking is excellent

Cons

1. Work can get very monotonous - since the same design/IP can go into multiple chips 2. Architecture team is not in India, so many times getting a bigger picture is difficult 3. Work from home option is sometimes not appreciated - very manager dependent. 4. HR is almost absent - hiring is the only HR functionality! 5. RSUs are no longer attractive as they were a few years back

Broadcom is very fast paced, engineering driven work environment. An employee has to work at great speed to accomplish work assignments.
