Eight years with Broadcom - Senior Manager Broadcom Employee Review

It appears that many managers were promoted to management based on their technical accomplishments regardless of the people and management skills. As a result, it seems that many of the managers are lacking in management skills. As the company gets bigger, HR seems to play a larger and larger role. It seems like they are trying to correct some of the problems, but the means are not always the best. Total compensation for lower level individuals appears to be falling as stock compensation drops off. Upper management gets plenty of compensation.
