Process
Lengthy but not very difficult.
Multiple rounds: phone screen and on-site.
The on-site interview was much tougher and included a lunch interview.
The manager finally spoke to me, and I was offered a position a few days later.

Great compensation, great tech, long hours, toxic interpersonal relationships
Engineer • Current Employee
July 9, 2015
Pros: Great compensation and the ability to work with the latest technology. They really put an emphasis on getting product out the door, so the technology to make that happen is the best in the world. Broadcom says they hire only the best of the best and they compensate that way.
Cons: Prepare to dislike the people you work with. A lot of toxic relationships.
Never before have I worked at a place where I don't trust the people I work with. That has never happened before.
Even my spouse tells me not to trust these people.
But the compensation is top-notch, which means that people stay and gradually adopt the same interpersonal skills of their coworkers to survive.
Teamwork suffers.
