Broadcom Sr. Software Engineer reviews

- Work atmosphere is un-human. People are treated as slaves. Long hours are just assumed. Taking your vacation is considered a privilege. - Bad management (they are almost exclusively former engineers) - Lots of not-nice people to deal with. Not very many people to learn from; looks like only incompetent people stayed and everyone who was any good left. (Those very few good people left, please don't feel offended when reading this.) Another group of people who stays is guys who were with the company for many years, possibly expecting severance package if they are laid off. - Poor code-base - Lack of documentation - Forget about specs, just code something - Development is done in constant fire-fighting mode and too much chaos

If you came in when the stock were high you are screwed. Not only stock options are no longer available to engineers, vacations are also taken away.
