Pros

Awesome location, great benefits, vibrant history, cutting edge tech

Cons

Hock tan is a vampire who sucked this company dry. 90% of the amazing engineers at this company left or were laid off and now its all about margins, very little rnd, nothing new, and a failed qcom buyout (thank god) hopefully this abomination of a company will die off now that the vampire hock tan couldnt take out qcom and the semi industry is fully consolidated. Don't work for this company if you want to work for a hitech company. This company changed its name and county 3x times in the last 3 years. Broadcom Corp - Brcm limited -> Brcm inc. Why did they keep the brcm name? Because avgo is a company that never did anything ever. They made passive rf front end prodcuts and got financing to leech and acquire better companies and strip them down. The current Broadcom Inc is a Frankenstein or Zombie with no brains to eat. Don't ever work here
