Pros

The benefits at Broadcom (pay, stocks, other benefits) are top-notch. The office culture is good, and the managers are quite technical and hands on.

Cons

Very marketing driven company. Upward mobility (as in more responsiblities, etc.) is not really there specially as some of the business units are in a holding pattern and dont have growth (while still being quite profitable).

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.
