Pros
Does the following sound like you? * Like writing code in a fast pace, yet laid back atmosphere * Understand intuitively that software process is over-rated * Appreciate that the very best way to do unit testing is during system integration. *Still learning programming but believe that any language invented after C is will never work and is unnecessary. *Think its awesome that so many of your colleges are hardware engineers - trying their hand at writing product code.
Cons
Broadcom is a hardware company - that now finds itself with a large and growing software problem. If you know software then you know that building a software system with 200K lines of code is much much different than building 20 systems that are 10K lines each. It's like trying to build a modern sky scraper when you've only built garden sheds.
