Process
The phone interview was normal, with questions about projects on the resume.
I was called on-site two weeks later. The questions were:
- Divide by 2 clock
- Divide by 3 clock
- FIFO read/write rates for equilibrium
- 3-bit Gray code counter
- Low power techniques
- Parallel processing
Questions
What is the relationship between read and write clocks for different data widths in a FIFO?

Pros: Broadcom was a great working environment. The job was challenging (in a good way), with great co-workers. I felt compensation was fair for the required effort. The company continues to push you to achieve more.
Cons: Working for Broadcom can be stressful if you can't let work take a back seat at times. The management team will continue to demand as much as you will give.
