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

Software engineer]

Recommend

CEO approval

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

Beware SW Engineers

Principal software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good Comm Scientists and Engineers. Most I've met are dedicated, hard working and believe they have Broadcom's best interest at heart. Decent RF and modem baseband HW.

Cons

The amount of SW in required for new products in this space is increasing exponentially. The current management at all levels doesn't have the training or experience to deal with that. This is The issue that will prevent Broadcom from competing effectively with Intel and Qualcomm.
