lol Having Broadcom on resume is even worse than VMware's latest reputation. Faang wouldn't even consider someone from legacy dinosaur company. Avago is basically old HP + some trash acquisitions lol, coast and get the RSUs until you can because our career is over.

Most managers are worthless at doing anything. A 1-on-1 meeting once a month and we talk about the fu--ing weather.

Well said.
Use time wisely.
This sh-t-y company adds absolutely nothing but negative to resume.
Meta is 100, VMware is 30, Broadcom is -100.
It is a dinosaur company that is proud of its mainframe division.

thanks!!!!!! found the direction!!!!!!

Rest and vest. Prepare for interview.
This is the way! Be greedy in this shameless company!

I can never figure out why people say "sorry I can't disclose which one", spill the tea and spare the rest of us because fk bc stop protecting some shameless company who could give a st about you. You write the list to fire people below you just like the people are writing you on a list above you.

always feel depressed after coffee talk.
HT is a business man.
every employee is just an absolute tools for him. you know it and he knows it. he shared this to you baldly without any respect.
if lucky, you might get some money. you absolutely get nothing else. you know it if you are honest to yourself
feel so bad in such a shameless and selfish company.

Senior manager with 4 reports here. No new hire any more. Seems hopeless.

I came over from CA and my manager has 20 reports.

I talk to him once a month and he is the most useless manager I’ve ever had in my career but honestly it works at Broadcom because your real manager is your vesting schedule.

Very good move to reach target of 7k employees

You are so f’king wrong it will be 6999. If you must ask why this number, then you have no clue of what the heck is happening.
