Not a bad place to be.

Pros

Lots of cash in the bank means money is available to fund projects. Vendors are willing to put extra effort to win business from Broadcom. Health benefits are fairly generous.

Cons

Long hours are to be expected. Review process is fundamentally flawed. Expect to be a pawn in departmental turf wars.

Pros

Broadcom has vet solid top management and great engineering

Cons

Unfortunatly all levels of management below the C level are just overgrow kids. They have no management skill and are the least business mature team I've ever seen in a technology company. Pay is far below the industry norm and the culture expects you to work 70 hour weeks on top of it. Broadcom is a company that suffers from it's founder's cowboy, break the rules (and the law) attitude and will never be a good place to work. Avoid it if at all possible
