Big company blues - be an anonymous cog in the machine

Business Outlook

Pros

Generous with resources needed to work, especially hardware equipment and software. Centrally located office so easy commute. Close to Sunnyvale downtown so good lunch options. Frequent beer bashes and socials.

Cons

Big company culture, not enough recognition given to hard work by employees, spent many weekends and late nights working, not treated well by customers, sometimes management will create busy work which serves no real purpose.

Good place to work in

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The company prospects are very good. Management always informs employees of things that are going on within the company. Nothing is held a secret. There is an open forum where employees and management can discuss anything. Employee's opinions and suggestions are all considered. Broadcom prides itself with being generous with stock compensation, and seeing as how the stock is going up, everyone is motivated to work. There are also free drinks and food all the time so this helps quite a bit in liking the work environment.

Cons

Since Richmond is a remote site, there is less budget for social activities (although I don't know if all the other sites and headquarter have the same issue.
