Business Outlook

Pros

- Great comp - good base pay, everyone gets annual bonus plus stock equity (RSUs not options) - Stock is growing - looking forward to when I will be a shareholder (and not an employee) - Minimal management structure (both a pro and con)

Cons

- Zero corporate culture - just a collection of acquired businesses expected to drive high-margin revenue - which is OK, but there is no corporate "Broadcom" message/theme/culture other than maximizing revenue at extremely high margins - No investment in employee career growth or opportunities to advance - Inflexible, often draconian HR policies - Don't care about customer experience or customer sat - especially with "low revenue" accounts - Everything is done on the extreme cheap - Implemented aggressive return to office policies during covid-19 - even though many positions can work from home. Now tracking employees via forced smart phone app on corporate phones. Really???

Very unfortunate outcome of M&A for classic Broadcom employees

Pros

I will speak for classic Broadcom. Broadcom felt like a startup, investing in innovation and the people who make the company great and profitable. Unfortunately, everything has changed since Avago bought Broadcom. We still have a gym and great people. They are all going away though. Broadcom paid top dollars, work/life balance was second to none, my managers paid attention to everything that I was working on, and everyone felt like part of the family. If the M&A did not happen, I would happily work until I retire at Broadcom. I have 30 years left until my retirement, so that says a lot about how much I loved working here.

Cons

New company is all about profit. I guess that's what the shareholders care about the most, but as an employee, and as a professional in the data field, this is a sign of death. What used to be a very data-driven company as turned into meeting quotas and doing things with intuition. People are leaving left and right, and management does not care. Like I said, it's all about profit, so the core business that made Broadcom what it is today is all moving over to Asia. Very unfortunate and sad to see.

Pros

After acquisition by Avago, literally nothing except for RSUs and the stock price.

Cons

Previous company was a heaven to work for. But, post acquisition there have been lot of changes happening in the name of cost cutting. Fear of business units getting sold and layoffs. Visa procedures are in stake. People in mid of green card process are stumbled. H1b filings were messed up and was not done for many. New grads shouldn't opt for this company anymore. Talents are starting to leave the company. No new hires recently. Work culture seems to have changed. Time to leave for a better option.
