Pros

The group I work in is filled with top-notch engineers. You can always learn something from someone. Not a sweatshop... great support from management to get work done in a timely manner. Good balance between life/work.

Cons

I work in a group that writes network drivers. The work is dictated by Broadcom's customers so there really is no innovation that occurs. Management is horrible at exposing roadmaps and intra/inter-group communication essentially is non-existent.

Management is straightforward and execution-focused, though the pace can be demanding. Great for those who thrive in a high-performance environment.

High pressure with occasional work-life balance challenges
