Pros

Broadcom (Classic), now Broadcom Limited after the Avago acquisition, was a great place to work as an IT member. Employee-centric programs and onsite benefits rivaled (some) of those at Google. Workload was very heavy, but management was always open to flex schedules and telecommuting, so it balanced out very nicely. My road commute was about an hour in HEAVY traffic, but it was all worth it. Fare thee well Broadcom (Classic).

Cons

Broadcom Limited is now an offshore tech company run by accountants that outsource anything possible in order to maintain shareholder equity. Big picture, as a shareholder, thats what you want. Small picture from the employee perspective (multiplied by the number of employees steamrolled), this is another example of sweatshop politics.
