Great place to work but...

Pros

Broadcom is an engineering focused company with very little frivolous management layers in the organization. You get to work on some of the most cutting edge technology and shape the future. Broadcom has some of the best engineering talent and people tend to stick around for along time.

Cons

Compensation. It is way below the industry norms. Management, for some reason, seems completely unconcerned about this issue. The vacation policy sucks. Because people to stick around for a long time, there is very little upward mobility for the relatively new hires.

Not a great company at the moment

Pros

Broadcom provides very good healthcare. And the flexible hours and very convenient. You can work from home as needed without asking for permission.

Cons

No opportunities to move internally. Stagnant salary. 50% of people in *each team* get no bonus. Vacation policy sucks. The spin is "unlimited vacation" at manager's discretion but it's a burden on the employee.
