Broadcom Employee Job Reviews in the United States

"I've worked for Broadcom as a summer intern."

"There is a bulge of middle management that do not allow entry level employees grow and progress. They do not offer any help with mentoring or guidance to grow. Any initiative is seen as an attack on their job/position. Their annual compensation increases are non existent unless you kiss up to management. There are no relationships with any of your co-workers and have no control in changing any of their processes or procedures. Overall, I would NEVER work for this company again.`"
