Ventajas
Broadcom Inc., before the merge with Arago, was used to be a employee friendly company. The job is relatively stable. The company's benefit and compensation is competitive in the industry. Many of the senior engineers have been working in Broadcom for more than 12 years. The company was good for the experienced middle age engineer who needs to raise a family and stable income.
Desventajas
Unfortunately, after merged with Avago, the company has been converted to a cost-down oriented company where the employees are disposable. The new president, Hack Tan, is a typical business man who is not interested in investing any risky high tech R&D. He is good at pleasing the stock holders and the investors. In the short term, Broadcom's stock will keep rising. In the long run, it will become a manufacture company, similar to Foxconn.
