Customers are getting no response about their CA World refund. It can be seen on #CAWorld at Twitter. This makes me wonder, if customers will be defaulted, what guarantee do we have we are getting severance pkg?

Broadcom is buying CA because of its customers and its technology, as their CEO stated, so that means not for its workers and their accomplishments. It was clear to me from the start that this buy goes way more to Broadcom’s benefit then CA’s, but... — read more

Any word on their strategy? Do you think it’s just mainframe and everything else will be divested?

I saw an email that said that the merger was approved (no surprise), but nothing else on the shareholder meeting anywhere. I'm assuming the golden parachutes were approved, was there anything interesting during the meeting?

I heard rumors that we will lose our severance and stock options if we are divested to another company. For example, I am in PPM and some company picks it up (along with the employees), then we are laid off after that. I assume we lose our severance... — read more

what will happen to them? Lots of managers there

Broadcom is the only semi company among larger players seen as having bright future. We are hiring selectively in all geographies and growing steadily. Acquisitions are helping us to fast pace the growth. Kudos to management

Just wondered if any Broadcom people knew what the view was internally on digital sales. Field are expensive, but digital sales doesn’t have a voice and so the perception is they don’t bring any value. Would you say they are gone globally?

Holy sh*t folks. Some Broadcom genius left restructuring plans at printer!!!!! I think it might have been out of paper when they tried or that xerox piece of sh needed a reboot. The print job comes out like 5 minuets later. Seriously what an id--t... — read more 

I work at CA. Broadcom was in for meetings last week (in New York). Nice people. As far as I can tell Broadcom is executing a wholesale dismantling of CA as an institution. It’s definitely impressive. Good luck Broadcom!

I heard the CEO has stopped coming to work and left already. His office is empty and dark for the last month and a half which is not unlike before but I think he would come in for a half day every now and then. Can you confirm?
