Pros

The hours for salaried employees are super flexible and there is absurdly no pressure to work 8-hours everyday as long as you get your job done. The amenities at the Irvine campus are awesome.

Cons

Job titles mean nothing except how much you are paid but they don't actually reflect what you do at Broadcom. There are so many people who are placed into a job position that doesn't match at all their actual function in the company. There is a bazillion hoops to jump through to get the simplest things done. Every group has their own process in how things are done, NOTHING is harmonized. There is no Broadcom way. There always seems to be a power struggle for special projects that make management look good while taxing workers. Too many politics, not enough people and way too much redundant process bigs down progress.

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.
