Broadcom Reviews

I don't have words to explain about Broadcom India work culture. Always hire and fire mode and new hires always are the goat to slaughter. Old legacy employees are full of politics and even they are not proper engineers most of the employees are pass out from very below average colleges and working with Broadcom since starting may be 6-10 years so they are like a frog in a dirty well. Company environment is full of politics, dirt,stressfull. Old legacy employee don't loose their dependency on the module, application and product and always give a hard time to new resources and later on that resource are eligible for layoff. Managers are really a dump and non technical and don't have any skills and not capabile to judge the internal politics within the team..just dummy managers. HR is only evolve to maintain in and out time of employess and how to force the employess to work from office even in Covid peak. Still in 21 century company having in and out time constraint, no WFH as such but on paper WFH with hidden terms and condition. company offers huge amount of stocks to trap/attract new employess but stock get vested after 12-15 month and legacy employee and management not allow to sustain you till that time.

Broadcom is completely dependent of legacy employees, who hold all the project dependency and no one can survive without their wish as no project documents and hard to grab everything only through source code. The main strategy is to hire new goat to slaughter during layoffs. Hire new resources, don't gave them space to survive, and layoffs the candidate before mature its stock (yearly) and again hire new resource. It is just to make secure legacy employee jobs and stability. Management treat software professionals like a slave and work like a robot. Managers are totally dummy and non technical, non professional and even not able to realized the legacy engineers politics. Here managers are totally just blindly follow the instruction coming from USA and don't have any individual strength. HR is totally worthless, they meant only to make employees day to day life hell. like how to push software professionals to work from office even in covid crisis(where every week around 50-60 employess are infected with corona in office) , no WFH policy as such (it is just to make a fool to external new candidate) Yes good stock option is their but it is just a carrot hanging on the pole in front of goat, just as a part of greedy algorithm to impress new jonnie and which he/she will never get. It is not my individual thoughts, just think 100 times before joining to Broadcom, because once you trapped in this situation, it is really tough to come out from them and find another similar level job.
