I will speak for classic Broadcom. Broadcom felt like a startup, investing in innovation and the people who make the company great and profitable. Unfortunately, everything has changed since Avago bought Broadcom. We still have a gym and great people. They are all going away though. Broadcom paid top dollars, work/life balance was second to none, my managers paid attention to everything that I was working on, and everyone felt like part of the family. If the M&A did not happen, I would happily work until I retire at Broadcom. I have 30 years left until my retirement, so that says a lot about how much I loved working here.
Minpunten
New company is all about profit. I guess that's what the shareholders care about the most, but as an employee, and as a professional in the data field, this is a sign of death. What used to be a very data-driven company as turned into meeting quotas and doing things with intuition. People are leaving left and right, and management does not care. Like I said, it's all about profit, so the core business that made Broadcom what it is today is all moving over to Asia. Very unfortunate and sad to see.
