Pros

Great technology, great engineers. Benefits are great.

Cons

Vacation time are not recorded. Hence you don't accumulate PTO. I would have preferred accrued PTOs over "unlimited" PTO since you would have to request for PTOs to your manager. It's up to your manager to let you have PTO. It's a good gimmick accounting to wipe off PTO liability off the books. I would have preferred better 401K matching. It's half of what my previous company's matching.

Pros

Broadcom offers great compensation and benefits

Cons

Wasn't a con for me but was for some, but remote work is highly discouraged and rare, most people must go into the office every day. Also, it is a rank and yank system.
