Good offer, congrats!

Broadcom Ltd. nomuggo Jan 23

You are right, culture is horrible and Don’t even think about WLB! pay is good and so do the stock, may be stay few years and switch?

AMD leo33 OP Jan 23

Oh thank you for confirming. Is it possible to give any examples on how is the culture horrible? Is it overall bad or depending on teams/groups. How is in APD?? Thank you in advance! 🙏

Broadcom Ltd. enduxhebke Jan 23

Not in hardware but please WLB is great… 9-5 job. Only bad thing about WLB at broadcom is it is 5 days in the office and if you suck at your job youll get let go. So people who suck at their job might find it stressful

190k per year or 4 yr grant?

AMD leo33 OP Jan 23

Per year

BRCM generally gives RSU units. May I know how many RSUs are allotted for 4years?

Broadcom Ltd. mcmohan Jan 23

You’re getting 120k more. Take it. Just be aware that there must be folks at your level making 100k more. See if you can get stocks to 250k. Are you in back-end ? Even more chill. APD is good, expect to be a bit busy.

AMD leo33 OP Jan 23

Thank you. I am in verif. 9 to 5 possible in APD?

AMD leo33 OP Jan 23

APD is on a roll - they are the division exposed to AI for google and meta. Expect to max your bonus.

Location? And $190k equity will vest over 4 years ?

AMD leo33 OP Jan 24

190k per year

Broadcom Ltd. $HocKFTW Jan 25

Tats great then. But are you sure? Usually it vests over 4 years. What’s the vesting schedule?

Micron NoCoEngr Jan 25

No brainer. Take it.

Broadcom Ltd. mindme Jan 25

It’s good offer. Work is also good it depends on group but it’s not as bad as people say. I got 100k stocks your offer is great

AMD leo33 OP Jan 25

Thanks for some positive info! Are you at ICB5 level as well??

Broadcom Ltd. mindme Jan 25

Yes. They rarely hire ICB6 externally. But it’s one of the fastest growing stock or 3rd fastest growing so far right after Tesla and NVIDIA . I haven’t received refresher yet but I heard refreshers are better than both of those and better or same as faang. I haven’t seen anyone going out of Broadcom once they join :)
