Pros

People are helpful and great to work with. Access to industry leading tools and equipment. Great support teams there for engineering support for various projects.

Cons

Cross functional team communication could be better. Too many "silos" when it comes to teams and business units working off on their own. Culture feels very corporate.

Great company to work for (before Avago acquisition)

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

This review is for Broadcom before the Avago acquisition. BRCM has been a great place to work. People are generally helpful. Good work/life balance. Great medical benefits. Good pay.

Cons

Now that we have been bought by Avago, the morale is very low. With so much uncertainty, people are losing their motivation. Everyday there is a new rumor. We are not looking forward to the deal closing and the new management. I do not recommend BRCM to anyone now because of the M&A. Up until now, BRCM has been a good company to work for.
