Process
I received a call on my phone and was asked to come onsite directly.
The onsite interview experience was amazing and quite chilling.
They started from my resume and asked me about my technical skills. A few questions were about my projects. The interviewers asked me questions on networking protocols, CDMA, and spread spectrum communications.

Good until Beceem acquisition
Engineering Manager • Current Employee
San Diego, California, United States
August 8, 2014
Pros: I have learned a lot in the cellular division at Broadcom.
I, like many others, got the opportunity to go beyond the initial assignments and learn about many system aspects.
Internal transfers are easy, if not encouraged.
Compensation is OK; it used to be much better.
Cons: The cellular business was killed by the Beceem acquisition. The VP at Broadcom was buddies with the CEO of Beceem. After 3 years of going nowhere, Broadcom eventually acquired Renesas, but the CEO decided to pull the plug after 9 months. There's way too much politics now, and those who screwed up never faced the consequences of their actions.
Titles are very much inflated and meaningless. Those who just get a free ride get the same recognition as those who do the work.
