Pretty good for tech company

Senior principal field applications engineer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

I feel like I get respect from management, and we communicate pretty well about what's going good and bad. I get to meet many different people from different companies and get a good sense of product development from concept to production.

Cons

obviously crazy work hours...very hard to balance things sometimes, although it has come in spurts.

Very demanding, oppressive yet great colleagues.

Business Outlook

Pros

Broadcom has many great people who are there for their love of technology. It is a great environment for engineers and people with STEM related degrees.

Cons

This company has very little respect or support of any non-technical group. These groups are looked on as a necessary evil and are not supported sufficiently with headcount or recognition. They still allow some of the old militaristic culture to survive in some of the long term management and it is damaging to those still working on those teams.

Business Outlook

Pros

You can have opportunity to work on the leading technology products and make contribution to improving everyday life.

Cons

Due to competitive nature of the industry, work pressure stays high. Company is growing bigger and culture of a small aggressive growing tech company is diminishing.
