Broadcom health and remote workers
We are getting bought by Broadcom; I have heard the health insurance is bad and they don’t allow remote workers. Does anyone at Broadcom (or An ex-CA Tech person) have info on that?
I was a CA Tech employee on transition for 9 months. The insurance is pretty much all High Deductible insurance. And their standard policy is NO working remote if there is an office within a straight line 50 mile distance. They do allow WFH if there isn’t an office near. Good luck!
I have been working at Broadcom for the last four years. Health is high deductible but you get an HSA account and they contribute up to 1500$ to it. Teeth and vision is good also. WFH depends on the BU and your manager basically
Part of the CA acquisition and am a WFH employee. Benefits better at Broadcom than they were at CA and stock options very generous IF we make our numbers. Went from MS outlook to Gmail and has been painful if you use email extensively - definitely not enterprise software. Broadcom also just enacted that mainframe employees pay for own cellphone and plan.
Generally no remote workers, but like earlier poster said, up to manager/BU. I know people who moved to any office and it was ok. Health insurance is crap, I switched to my wife's. If you stick with Brcm and your BU does well (and you are L5 and above), you will get paid better than anywhere else and WLB should be ok. While it lasts. Lots of big ifs. WSD people can all retire early, e.g.
Generally Broadcom pays well (in stock) and that is all they do for the employee. Beyond that they don't give a damn about employees interests, growth or social aspects. All they care about is revenue to employee strength. If that does not meet the number then time to lay off.
Do they revise pay scale?
If you survive and have a chance to stay in Broadcom it would be great. Higher your rank better for you. 401K is also good. 100% match for 6% of your base salary.
Is there a cap on the total match? (e.g. 6% of base salary up to $X,XXX)
Is it that scary to work for Broadcom?
Apart from good pay I have never heard anything else +ve from employees
How are they paying so much money to the employees?
I was acquired twice by CA and it was seamless as all companies were in the same vertical. Broadcom has made some significant changes to CA's business model and it's been painful, hence the 'wait and see' post November 2.
Care of elaborate a bit please?
All up to management
