Good & Stable Company with Poor Benefits

Principal Product Engineer
Former Employee
Worked at Broadcom for less than 1 year

3.0
Positive Outlook
Pros
  • Good work environment.
  • Flexible work hours.
  • On-site gym.
  • Stable job and company doing great.
  • Good health insurance benefits.
Cons
  • Poor 401K matching.
  • Zero vacation (advertised as unlimited vacation), no time bank accrual. Obviously no cash out option either.
  • Cannot take more than 2 weeks off at a time. This information was not shared by the hiring manager or HR during the interview process. This is absolutely a big no for someone like me who travels back home to Asia.
  • Avoid getting a job in Ops; they are treated as a foster child. The mind-set in the company is, "BU brings revenue, OPS is cost overhead".
  • Product Engineering roles are technically Program Manager roles.
