Fabulous place to work for about 2 years.

Pros

Learning opportunities when you first arrive; stock option compensation package use to be lucrative; less process and seasoned professionals translates to getting more work done.

Cons

Too many alphas and too much beta work; career advancements pretty much equates to leaving the company to pursue other opportunities since professional development or group rotation don't exist for talent retention; typical big company cube farms with lip-service start-up attitude; engineering managers are a joke but easy to ignore; individual contributor really means just you and the internet; engineering teams are *VERY* cliquey.

Pros

Broadcom benefits from having a great collection of skilled engineers, with very little dead weight. This means that you find yourself working with talented people, who for the most part are enjoying their own work. It pays well, offers good benefits, and while it doesnt always succeed, it certainly tries to maintain a healthy work-life balance. Additionally, I find Broadcom to be a very much empowered company, where I certainly spend my time working constructively on the job I was hired to do, and dont find myself in endless meetings, or held up with endless and unnecessary beurocracy. Lots of little 'extras' help keep the staff happy.

Cons

Like most tech companies, there can be long hours that go with the rewards, most notably around product tapeouts and delivery.
