Pros

Everyone is on the same page in terms of where the company is going. Brain washing by senior company management is not necessary here. The work is definitely challenging. There is no reason for an engineer to become technically extinct here.

Cons

A lot of hours are required to be successful here due to the nature of working on leading edge products. Employees are self driven here so extended work hours doesn't seem to be too much of an issue. Work hard and play hard.

Pros

Broadcom benefits from having a great collection of skilled engineers, with very little dead weight. This means that you find yourself working with talented people, who for the most part are enjoying their own work. It pays well, offers good benefits, and while it doesnt always succeed, it certainly tries to maintain a healthy work-life balance. Additionally, I find Broadcom to be a very much empowered company, where I certainly spend my time working constructively on the job I was hired to do, and dont find myself in endless meetings, or held up with endless and unnecessary beurocracy. Lots of little 'extras' help keep the staff happy.

Cons

Like most tech companies, there can be long hours that go with the rewards, most notably around product tapeouts and delivery.
