I am not sure how someone can enjoy in Broadcom!!! It's putting so much pressure on employees, they are firing, RIFing folks, not giving new recqs. I see most of folks are slogging and they are sticking to make some extra cash or till can get another job.
BTW, if someone is so impressed by Hock's capability of boosting stock price, don't forget it went up as lot's of folks lost their jobs in IT,HR, Finance and lot of groups were sold or fired to reach here. It has become a slaughter house.
Hock knows how to run business. People who think he doesn't have long term vision etc. are immature technocrats. Finally stock price speaks for his abilities !! Enjoy as long as you work here. I think Hock will keep tightening the belt. Even low cost India Centre might soon be on his radar.
Hock model is not sustainable, he is just buying cash cows and milking them. He does not want to invest in R & D, eventually once highly successful groups are becoming failure and facing layoff. Not worth to stay in Avago/Broadcom.
Without investing in the future and keep raising prices on key customers the gravy train will eventually stop
don't worry be happy
The problem is, Hock doesn't want to invest in new businesses. If what you are doing today is hot, great. What are you going to do tomorrow? And Hock doesn't care. If there is a downturn, he will lay everyone off. There is no more layoff fodder. HR, IT, bottom performers, gone. Now he is starting to trim the muscle.
Less games. More accountantability. More rewards. Very business and profitability oriented.
If one can justify their value and somehow differentiate oneself in the global workplace, then from what I've seen so far, the new Broadcom will be worthwhile.
