Broadcom Work Experiences

No technical innovation
Staff Software Engineer • Current Employee
Palo Alto, California, United States
July 27, 2025
Pros: Good stock run, nothing else.
Cons: It's all about survival and getting adopted into the bad culture just because you can't gather the courage to leave the cash on the table. Acquisition by Broadcom is like a definite death blow to the culture and innovation of the acquired company. Broadcom management only knows the language of money, including the CEO. The senior management of the acquired company (mostly a division in Broadcom at that time) is generally clueless and only has one goal: maximize profit margin. No innovation can happen in such a terrible place, never!

Pros: Opportunities to develop state-of-the-art technology.
Compensation is very good, especially with stock grants.
Cons: The company tends to lay off frequently and keep barely enough people to staff projects. That puts a lot of pressure on current employees and offers no job security.
