Pros

Some of the brightest engineers in the industry, who are given the opportunity to do things right. Compensation is on par with other companies.

Cons

Acquired by Avago. Looking at their track record, this likely means Broadcom will no longer be about being best in class but about cutting costs and increasing shareholder value at the expense of employees and customers.
