Pros

A vast majority of engineers I have worked with in Broadcom are very dedicated and technically very sound. Depending on when you join, the equity compensation could be very enticing.

Cons

As Broadcom grew it is losing its tradition. The company is becoming more and more top heavy. The equity compensation drastically rolled back and engineering work is no longer directly tied to compensation.
