Pros

Great brand. Great technological company in the US.

If the employee is part of the Hyderabad networking software group, there's a great chance to learn how to play politics in a company.

The networking software group at Hyderabad teaches how a services company-like environment can be created in a technological company. It's a great case study for B-school.

Cons

The Hyderabad networking software group is operated by a set of people who create a mafia-like atmosphere. They exploit Broadcom and will go to any extent to save their jobs.

There is a set of people at Broadcom Hyderabad who influence their US (NC) counterparts through drink parties, etc., at the local Star Hotel (Westin) and get promotions. Performance is not a criterion at the Broadcom Networking Software division at Hyderabad.

If someone genuinely wants to step up and do something for the company at Broadcom Hyderabad's networking software division, the bunch of people mentioned above will be ready to demotivate such initiatives due to their insecurity.

Advice to Management

If Broadcom upper management is really watching this, it is high time you really know what's going on at the networking software division in Hyderabad rather than believing a bunch of moron management at Hyderabad.
