Pros

Wide variety of technologies, excellent pay, decent benefits, no micromanagement, great potential for career development. good amount of RSUs and nice bonus. Tier one customers that are great to work with.

Cons

The big downside is that since the merger with Avago, there is uncertainty on the engineering level about the path forward. This means you never know when your job is determined redundant. , However, if you apply now and get an offer, you're likely in a much better position.

Pros

High pay, good benefits, stock options

Cons

Soulless corporate structure and demands. Broadcom acquired the company I worked for and drastically increased prices immediately, alienating well over 50% of our customers.
