Pros

work is good for learning and more execution oriented good team and competitive enviornment Good Money

Cons

Expectation is to be a Workaholic Unrealistic Deadlines & Toooo Much of Artificial Pressure More like a Chinese company...Less importance for quality and more importance for schedule No Respect for Employees!! HR is a joke!!!NO HR Policies or Code of conduct applicable for management!! No FEEDBACK MECHANISM FOR MANAGERS.. Treats employs like machines not humans & by default weekends are considered to be working days Spoils the work life balance.. No Team lunch or No Team outing ..!!!

Broadcom is a great company but hyderabad networking software division does not fit into Broadcom culture

Software engineer]

Business Outlook

Pros

* Great Brand.. Great technological company in US * If the employee is part of hyderabad networking software group, great chance to learn how to play politics in a company * Networking software group at hyderabad teaches how a services company kind of environment can be created in a technological company. Great case study for B-School

Cons

* Hyderabad networking software group is operated by a set of people who create a kind of mafia atmosphere. They exploit broadcom and can go to any extent to save their jobs. * There are a set of people at Broadcom Hyderabad who influence their counterpart US(NC) management through drink parties etc at local star hotel(westin) and get promotions. So, performance is not a criteria at Broadcom Networking Software division at Hyderabad * If some one really would like to step up and do something for the company at Broadcom Hyderabad's networking software divison, bunch of people mentioned above will be ready to demotivate such initiatives because of the insecurity of those people
