Pros

Generous with resources needed to work, especially hardware equipment and software. Centrally located office so easy commute. Close to Sunnyvale downtown so good lunch options. Frequent beer bashes and socials.

Cons

Big company culture, not enough recognition given to hard work by employees, spent many weekends and late nights working, not treated well by customers, sometimes management will create busy work which serves no real purpose.

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.
