      lots of work, no future

      Pros

      Austin has few opportunities for design engineering despite all the hype of being a tech center. Being a traffic choked city there are very few opportunities where your commute is reasonable. If you're coming from California to Austin your salary will go a long way--but if you're hired from Austin direct, expect to get a Texas salary. Big delta between native Texan and California import salaries. Good health benefits, stock grants (RSU) can be great if the company is doing well.

      Cons

      Lots of work that cycles between normal full time and extreme weekend and long days. Schedules do not take personal life into consideration--when the project is hot you'd better be ready despite kids, school, wife, or other life commitments. Very low commitment on part of company to employee development. Lots of recognition if you do a patent but that's about it. Company policy is vacation at manager's discretion. Nerve wracking for shy people with managers that never say "take time off." You've got to ask and the vacay has to meet your project's schedule (see above).

      Ideal work environment if you want to learn something... You are always encouraged to try things out and experiment.

      Pros

      Broadcom provides plenty of opportunities for any person wanting to hone skills technically. Each team works like a start up and is given a free hand to use their own technology,tools and work on it. It has a an atmosphere where people are only focused on work... More like a 9-6 job where you do your stuff and get out. Ideal place for people wanting to learn something as you are given a free hand to experiment and learn. End of the day you will have to deliver stuff.. Thats all that counts.

      Cons

      Since every group follows their own approach there is no uniformity. Sharing across teams could be a problem. It takes time to adjust to an environment where you dont get to bond socially.
