Based on the call this morning, it sounds like transitional contracts will be offered by Symantec, not Broadcom. Those contracts will probably be for people in supporting functions like HR, legal, etc...It sounds like these will be few and far between but the point is murky, so I could be misinterpreting what was said.
Most people in functions like development and customer support will go over as Broadcom employees. Again, if I understood the point correctly. My peers seemed to take away the same message. That said, Broadcom is continuously evaluating business performance and need, so if you go over, you're only guaranteed a job until the next RIF. Of course, that's been standard operating procedure at Symantec for years now, so it should be nothing new.
