Not a great company at the moment
Senior Staff Software Engineer • Current Employee
Irvine, California, United States
November 3, 2013
Pros: Broadcom provides very good healthcare.
The flexible hours are very convenient.
You can work from home as needed without asking for permission.
Cons: No opportunities to move internally. Stagnant salary. 50% of people in *each team* get no bonus.
Vacation policy sucks. The spin is "unlimited vacation" at manager's discretion, but it's a burden on the employee.
