Pros

Great place to work before the acquisition by Avago. Challenging tasks, great engineers and world class tools. Generally the company was engineering led, producing world class products.

Cons

Strategic direction from the top was lacking or not followed through. The shutdown of the mobile business was not managed well. Signs post acquisition are one of cost, cost, cost. How this translates to our everyday activities is not yet clear, but the support side is clearly going to suffer which has the potential to result in decreased engineering productivity.

Pros

Broadcom offers great compensation and benefits

Cons

Wasn't a con for me but was for some, but remote work is highly discouraged and rare, most people must go into the office every day. Also, it is a rank and yank system.
