Pros

Broadcom Corporation was known for it's innovation and provided great opportunities to work with very intelligent and skilled people. They also understood and supported a good work-life balance, and provided many facilities (including gyms, cafeterias, etc.) that helped with this. The best part was definitely the people...such great people. It's not much of a job when you consider you were working among "family."

Cons

Broadcom Limited, previously Avago, is not the same company. Their interest is purely profit now and do not foster innovation. Instead, their focus is purely profit. When the CEO was asked during an all-hands meeting about company culture, his response was "When I was young and starting out, I didn't care very much about company culture. Now that I'm a CEO, I care even less. We pay you well to do a job, and that's enough." NO thank you.

Pros

Top of the market compensation, generous equity grants + skyrocketing stock price. Welcome to the .1%

Cons

Listen, this company doesn't care about you. Every aspect of the employee experience communicates ambivalence if not outright hostility to its workforce. CEO doesn’t bother pretending he’s guided by anything but pure, uncut capitalism. If he could run the business without any of us, he would -- and with every quarterly RIF, he gets a little closer. The honesty and clarity of purpose might be refreshing if it weren’t, you know, your livelihood.  If you're in a customer facing role, prepare to deal with well-earned mistrust and hostility. If you're motivated by doing the right thing for your customers, look elsewhere. You won't be building partnerships, you'll be taking hostages.
