The company said it expects to take charges of about USD 650 million related to the job cuts through 2018.
The company’s net income fell to USD 377 million in the first quarter, from USD 429 million a year earlier, Reuters reported.
Headquartered in California, Broadcom was acquired by Avago Technologies in 2016 and currently operates as a wholly owned subsidiary of the merged entity called Broadcom Limited.
