Broadcom is a diversified semiconductor and infrastructure-software company with a workforce of roughly 20,900 people worldwide. Recent data shows the organization added several hundred employees while experiencing a larger volume of departures, resulting in a net contraction of headcount. Even with this movement, Broadcom maintains a sizable talent base that supports its broad portfolio of wired, wireless, storage, and industrial solutions.
Engineering is by far the largest function at Broadcom, employing more than 11,500 people—over half of the entire company—underscoring the technical depth required to design and manufacture complex semiconductor products. Business Management (about 3,050 employees) and Sales & Support (approximately 2,500 employees) form the next-largest groups, reflecting the scale needed to commercialize and service the firm’s offerings. Additional teams such as Marketing & Product, Finance & Administration, Operations, Information Technology, and Quality collectively account for several thousand roles, while a small Publishing, Editorial & Reporting unit and an "Other" category round out the organizational chart. The spread indicates a balanced mix of product development, go-to-market, and corporate support capabilities.
Broadcom’s talent footprint is geographically diverse, with notable concentrations in both the United States and India. Bengaluru hosts the largest site at nearly 2,000 employees, followed by roughly 1,050 staff in San Jose and 825 in Irvine. Additional hubs include the broader San Francisco Bay Area, Hyderabad, Fort Collins, Pune, Austin, and San Diego, each ranging between 286 and 566 employees. A further 2,600 employees are classified under various smaller or remote locations, highlighting the company’s distributed operating model.
