      Competitive and hardworking engineering team. Uncompetitive and ego driven managers at key positions.

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Plenty of opportunity to learn and explore areas of technical interest Tools, equipment, access to labs are all excellent High quality engineering team Decent recruiting process Several internal opportunities to explore technical and managerial interests

      Cons

      Ego driven management contributes to long term weaknesses in competitive abilities in key technical and business areas Maniacal focus on patent generation results in the production of several useless and redundant activities in the technology creativity process Unnecessarily hierarchical organizational structure for a company of this size and scope as compared to others of similar size in the semi world. This results in bureaucratic inefficiency when it comes to having certain routine tasks executed.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      1. Opportunities to specialize in certain block designs or gain experience in many different blocks 2. Analog team is absolutely world class 3. Great CAD support 4. Satisfaction of seeing designs make it into final product

      Cons

      1. Too many cliques, based on university & nationality which can affect promotions 2. BRCM is now a mature company, therefore a lot of work involves upgrading existing designs.
