Broadcom

One of the best semiconductor companies to work for, but that isn't saying much. The others that I consider in the same league are Nvidia, Qualcomm, Apple, and Cisco.

Opportunity to work on cutting-edge products with relatively fast product cycles. Varies greatly depending on the many different groups within Broadcom.

Low salary, hard work, and getting more corporate. Uneven work distribution and poor communication between management and engineering. Career path and goals are not defined. There is a lot of title inflation, so when you join, make sure you fight for the highest title.

Share information with your employees more often.

Reviews and promotions are not handled well.

You have too many non-technical people making important decisions (i.e., marketing) that they know little about.
