Pros: This review is for the CCX (Compute and Connectivity) group in original Broadcom (prior to Avago acquiring it in 2016 and taking its name). Pros are: * Work from home facility (might become restricted due to Avago in the future) * Work-life balance to some extent * Because of these and the brand value, I have given it a 3-star rating.

Cons: When a layoff is done, employee access is disabled the very next day. Management doesn't even bother to consider that employees were working on projects and how they will prepare for interviews without access to work databases. This disabling of access within 1-2 days is the norm here. I have seen it in my group as well as other 3-4 groups in which layoffs happened in 2016 after Avago acquired it. * HR policies are turning worse after Avago acquisition. For example, if an employee decides to leave the company without serving a notice period of 1 month, the employee will have to pay 1 month's salary. But if, after the employee gives resignation, the company can end the employment without giving any compensation for the notice period. * The number of leaves has reduced from 18 to 15. Holidays are 10 in a year. This is less compared to industry standards. * A major portion of pay is given in terms of RSUs, which is not good because when you leave, the unvested RSUs go away, and you are not able to show a good baseline to your next employer, so I'd say negotiate in the beginning itself to have cash instead of RSUs. * Politics within sub-teams in Bangalore. If one sub-team manager gets a chance, they will promote only their sub-team reportees, and other sub-team members will not be promoted even though they are more competent. * Lot of politics between India vs. US teams. * Upper management favors the US team; that's why the layoff in December 2016 was fully done in the Bangalore team and none in the US team. In shared projects, most credit goes to the US team, and most blame comes to the India team. * Most of the work is moving to the US, and hence India employees feel that there will be more layoffs in the coming years. This group is highly unstable at this time.

Pros: Very nice, good but nice.

Cons: None to that, I say none.

Pros: The work environment here is better than many other places. It includes manager interaction, working with other team members, and obviously the infrastructure and facilities.

Cons: The IT team's response is slow sometimes. I repeat "sometimes", not always. If you reach them, they always try to resolve the issue ASAP, but I think this can be improved.
