Pros: - RSUs - That's it. - Nothing else, just RSUs.

Cons: Bad culture. No culture at all. Very eager to lay anyone off. They want to acquire and just kill the company. Compulsory 5 days WFO. Attendance is tracked. In fact, everything is tracked. Every keystroke. No concept of work-life balance. Feels like you're working in a labor camp in WW2 times. All employer-friendly policies, no employee-friendly policies.

Pros: Huge stock option, which is touch and luck based to get after 12-15 months.

Cons: I don't have words to explain about Broadcom India's work culture. It's always in a hire and fire mode, and new hires are always the "goat to slaughter." Old, legacy employees are full of politics. They are not proper engineers; most of the employees passed out from very below-average colleges and have been working with Broadcom since the beginning, maybe 6-10 years. They are like a frog in a dirty well. The company environment is full of politics, dirt, and stress. Old, legacy employees don't lose their dependency on the module, application, and product. They always give a hard time to new resources, and later on, that resource is eligible for layoff. Managers are really a dump and non-technical. They don't have any skills and are not capable of judging the internal politics within the team; they are just dummy managers. HR is only involved in maintaining employee in and out times and how to force employees to work from the office, even during Covid peaks. Still in the 21st century, the company has in and out time constraints. There's no WFH as such, but on paper, there is WFH with hidden terms and conditions. The company offers a huge amount of stocks to trap/attract new employees, but stocks get vested after 12-15 months. Legacy employees and management don't allow you to sustain until that time.

Pros: Broadcom has good work-life balance.

Cons: Broadcom does a lot of cost cutting against employee comfort.
