Good pay - Experience needed

Pros

The company has a lot of cash on hand and they tend to give great compensation . The benefits are great and most of the engineers are very open and friendly. Also a nice cafe for lunch.

Cons

Problems are that there is a clear cut salary cap, so don't expect too many raises too quickly. They tend to hire mostly experienced candidates, which makes it difficult for new hires to enter the company. Also if you are under 35, you will have trouble meeting people your own age. I worked in IS and work-life balance is tough. Expect at least 50-60 hours of work, but at least

Business Outlook

Pros

Great place to get technical exposure, definitely gives enormous opportunities to improve technical expertise

Cons

Limited opportinuties to grow up the management ladder, lately compensation structure does not align with traditional broadcom philosophy of stock compensation, basically compensation is (base salary + bonus in form of RSU's which do not work out much + a miniscule 401k match), previously stock options used to be given out which used to make Broadcom lucrative but not anymore
