RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at Broadcom full-time (More than 3 years)
Pros
challenging work
good rsu
Really enjoy the majority of my coworkers. Most are humble, friendly, and skilled. They don't over exert you but challenge you to bring your best. Lots of people to learn from, and you're not micromanaged.Cons
No work life balance
cost cutting
Not everyone gets good bonuses. I think the way they assess people could be better. Could have some more events, but usually related to your specific groupAdvice to Management
spend more on R&D
Improve assement of contributions, and hold onto good people. Share the birthday peoples names on their birthday (at least if they are ok with it)! Its nice having celebration but weird that we don't know who for.Broadcom 2018-04-02 00:22 PDT![Broadcom Logo]()

RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at Broadcom full-time (More than 8 years)
Pros
1. Good RSU and Bonus Program - Company tries really hard to KEEP talented staff
2. Decent amount of Innovation going on - enough budget to "try" new things that aren't always "by the book"
3. Relatively "flexible" hours
4. Cross Functional work relatively easy, w/out major road blocksCons
1. Facility Security team run by rather infantile "Toy Cops".
2. Hard to be "heard" in such a large organization.Advice to Management
The BU managers needs to have more "Team Sessions" so they can get a "feel" for what's really going on.

I worked at Broadcom full-time (More than 10 years)
Pros
Intelligent and driven people to work with. Pretty good compensation. I made extremely close friendships with a few coworkers.
Cons
CEO before Hock Tan was very ruthless and power hungry. Top priority was making profits and staying in control of power. The company is extremely large and not very good at making individual employees feel valued besides your compensation. Your job satisfaction is very dependent on who your manager is. I never felt passionate about the culture or company values.
