Process
Test my understanding of basic circuit structure and theories.
Typical questions include:
- Circuit transfer functions
- Noise
- Distortion (linearity)
- Design choices and rationale
- Frequency compensation (different approaches to stabilizing a two-pole system)
Test my arguments for choosing a particular circuit topology.
Ask about my previous project experiences, including the motivation and features of different projects.
Questions
How to improve the linearity of the common source amplifier?

Engineering • Former Employee

January 26, 2009
Pros: Free drinks, juice, soda, tea, coffee, etc., but no alcohol.
Food in the cafeteria is fairly inexpensive.
Everyone I worked with had a very high level of expertise.
Communication was pretty open.
Almost everyone in the group was very helpful to me as an intern.
The company works on cutting-edge stuff, and the work is challenging and fun.
Cons: My pay as an intern was on the low side, $20.50/hour plus 1.5X for overtime. This was the summer after I finished college, right before starting grad school.
It is sometimes a pain to do a teleconference with other engineers working in Irvine, CA.

Pros: Broadcom is up and coming and has a strong pull in many different fields, therefore it is better able to manage during a recession than many other companies.
The employees are hardworking and very motivated.
Communication moves quickly with constant emails throughout.
There is a heavy workload and weak communication between groups.

Keep the engineers more organized. I like the environment, but the dress code is loose, which I personally don't like. However, that may be a plus for other people. But not too many negatives. Although I don't like the fact that they waste money just like other companies. Yes!
