Pros

- Generous RSU grants keep people from leaving - Work-life balance manageable due to low product innovation

Cons

- Below market salary with no hikes for years - Constant fear of layoffs every quarter/month - Senior leadership lacks vision and direction - Middle management is powerless and demotivated - No new R&D or product innovation (software BU's)—everything is in maintenance mode - Products are being kept alive just to sell through aggregators - Employee morale is at an all-time low

Pros

Broadcom offers great compensation and benefits

Cons

Wasn't a con for me but was for some, but remote work is highly discouraged and rare, most people must go into the office every day. Also, it is a rank and yank system.
