Great place to get technical experience, but limited management opportunities

Principal ic design engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great place to get technical exposure, definitely gives enormous opportunities to improve technical expertise

Cons

Limited opportinuties to grow up the management ladder, lately compensation structure does not align with traditional broadcom philosophy of stock compensation, basically compensation is (base salary + bonus in form of RSU's which do not work out much + a miniscule 401k match), previously stock options used to be given out which used to make Broadcom lucrative but not anymore

A decent place to work.

Staff engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Broadcom is a technology firm that places value on it's engineers. There is the opportunity to work with some of the the brightest minds in the industry. The compensation is on par with other semiconductor firms, and the company provides equity compensation in the form of stock options and restricted stock units (RSUs).

Cons

The company has grown substantially in the past few years. The previous feel of a small start-up company is being lost; with over 6,000 employees, Broadcom feels like a big company now. The disadvantages of this are that tasks are more specialized, which comes at the expense for skill development.
