Technically challenging work with ample opportunities for innovation and learning
Technically challenging work with ample opportunities for innovation and learning
- Opportunities to specialize in certain block designs or gain experience in many different blocks.
- Analog team is absolutely world class.
- Great CAD support.
- Satisfaction of seeing designs make it into final product.
-
Too many cliques, based on university and nationality, which can affect promotions.
-
BRCM is now a mature company; therefore, a lot of work involves upgrading existing designs.
- Increased feedback opportunities from mid-level engineers

Broadcom Interview Experiences
Senior Engineer
I spent most of my time in the interview discussing my presentation and research. As for questions, they ranged from LDO design to general analog design questions, like op-amps and so on. I met with a team of 10 designers.
Senior Engineer
The overall interview process was good, but they are very bad at communication. After the interview, they don't have any updates and also they don't respond to your follow-up emails. Very bad experience.
Senior Product Engineer
Interviewed with 10 product engineers/managers, all in one day. It was 45 minutes per session, with a 90-minute lunch interview with the hiring manager and a senior product engineer. For the first 9 interviewers, I felt that it went relatively well.
