Broadcom Employee Job Reviews in the United States

"Broadcom has no core cultural values and the only thing that can be certain about being employed at Broadcom is major layoffs on a regular basis despite excellent annual and quarterly reviews. The CEO is among the highest paid in the world and treats his employees like trash."

"Life as usual and at times frustrating."

What don't you like about working at Broadcom?

"Too much politics; advancement is not based on meritocracy; guidelines for management is too loose that it attracts abuses in every phase. Management could, almost, do whatever they like."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"If you come from a strong SW background - make sure you understand. What they have now is like building a new house on a lot with an existing tear down. You're going to be getting dirty before doing any real building."

What don't you like about working at Broadcom?

"This company grew up designing great HW products. The new standards for wireless end up requiring more SW - a lot more. The senior management - many with great engineering backgrounds - simply do not have the training or experience to develop larger scale embedded systems. When Intel shows up with the Armada of competitive products built into their SOCs - it will all be over but the shouting."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Hire strong SW people and get out of the way."

"Broadcom may be a good place to work if you are an engineer, but not for g&a positions."

"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.`"
