Broadcom Technical Support Engineer reviews

The biggest issue is job security. The company operates on a ruthless acquisition and cost-cutting model, meaning massive, sudden layoffs and restructuring are always a looming threat. Teams are constantly stripped down to run incredibly lean, which spikes the daily ticket volume and ruins work-life balance for those who stay. There is zero transparency from upper management about organizational changes, and you constantly feel like just a number on a spreadsheet.

- Zero job stability. You could be the top employee today, yet not have a job tomorrow. - Extremely lean organization, sometimes that is an advantage, sometimes it isn't. - How much you like your job ? It really depends on your business unit and your manager + Sr Mgr and VP. - There is no proper HR function. There is just 1 HRBP for an entire site, no different HR for different BUs. In India, 1 HR each for the 3 major sites in India that's it. Gather what you will for how that works. - Their exit process, especially when you are laid off is the worst. They will make you hurriedly (1 day) agree to their terms or forfeit severance and other benefits. - During acquisitions when they close sites, they might force you to move to a different location or exit the company. - You only have a job in Broadcom as long as you are either 'relevant' or you are bringing money to the company. And lots of people rework or do work that is totally unnecessary just to stay 'relevant.'
