Broadcom is a global semiconductor and infrastructure-software company that employs about 20,900 people. Workforce records show 287 hires alongside 764 departures, producing a modest contraction but leaving a sizable talent base in place. The headcount supports a broad portfolio that ranges from wired and wireless connectivity chips to enterprise software solutions.
Engineering represents the core of Broadcom’s organization with roughly 11,500 employees—just over half of total staff—reflecting the technical depth required to design and deliver complex silicon products. Business Management (around 3,050 employees) and Sales & Support (about 2,500) form the next-largest groups and help commercialize and service the company’s offerings. Smaller yet essential functions such as Marketing & Product, Finance & Administration, Operations, Information Technology, Quality, and Program & Project Management collectively account for several thousand additional roles, indicating a balanced mix of product development, go-to-market, and corporate support capabilities.
Broadcom’s talent footprint is widely distributed. Bengaluru, India hosts the largest single concentration with nearly 2,000 employees, followed by approximately 1,050 staff in San Jose and 825 in Irvine. Additional hubs in the broader San Francisco Bay Area, Hyderabad, Fort Collins, Pune, Austin, and San Diego each range between roughly 300 and 600 employees. A further 14,600 team members are spread across numerous smaller or remote sites worldwide, underscoring the company’s geographically diversified operating model.
