Broadcom

The hours for salaried employees are super flexible, and there is absolutely no pressure to work 8 hours every day as long as you get your job done. The amenities at the Irvine campus are awesome.

Job titles mean nothing except how much you are paid, but they don't actually reflect what you do at Broadcom.

There are so many people who are placed into a job position that doesn't match their actual function in the company.

There are a bazillion hoops to jump through to get the simplest things done.

Every group has its own process for how things are done; nothing is harmonized.

There is no Broadcom way.

There always seems to be a power struggle for special projects that make management look good while taxing workers.

Too many politics, not enough people, and way too much redundant process bogs down progress.

Quit letting things run like a startup. You're a big boy company now. You can't keep giving people more job responsibilities outside of their scope of work and expect to keep people happy. You can't continue to let each group run itself like its own independent company and then expect harmony when two different BUs try to collaborate on a project. There is no centralized system that binds the company together to get everyone on the same page, and until you realize this, the company is going to stagnate.
