Pros

Good exposure to tech. Good place to contribute towards cutting edge projects. It was decent till Hock Tan and his band of merry corporate raiders came along and now everyone is pissed off and concerned about the future. It was good till they decided not to invest in R&D and decided to count every nickel, change the culture and make empty promises. Lies after lies since May after the acquisition.

Cons

This party is done. A huge culture shift is underway. Broadcom innovation culture with doing the impossible is dead. The new management wants to streamline costs and not invest in R&D. The management policy is to have established franchises which require the bare minimum of R&D. Financial metric driven culture with micromanagement. Keep shareholders happy for the short term is the new norm. No longer a fun place to work. Massive layoffs are being planned. The new company brings nothing new to the table except a giant Axe for cost cutting. There are no new ideas just empty silly promises of a better compensation

Excellent compensation with strong base pay, bonuses, and quarterly RSU vesting that truly rewards performance. The company moves fast with clear priorities and strong financial results. Management is straightforward and execution-focused, though the pace can be demanding. Great for those who thrive in a high-performance environment.

Cons

High pressure with occasional work-life balance challenges
