Good & Stable Company with Poor Benefits
Good & Stable Company with Poor Benefits
- Good work environment.
- Flexible work hours.
- On-site gym.
- Stable job and company doing great.
- Good health insurance benefits.
- 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.

Broadcom Interview Experiences
Principal Product Engineer
Very structured and to the point, mostly technical. This was a phone interview; there were three people: one from test, one from product, and one from systems. The interview lasted about 3 hours. Interviewers seemed very abrupt.
Principal Engineer
Interview through video conference in a group panel first. Then face-to-face with potential managers. Feel easy; overall, the interviewers are transparent and friendly. Be prepared for some technical questions.
ASIC Design Engineer
They are very urgent. No phone interview. Call me on the day around noon and want me to be on-site on the same day about 4:30 pm.
