just about anyone at his level speaks in generalities. After a little while of doing so we come to realize it was just a pie in the sky. So they must move on. AIOps. Perfect example trying to ride the AI buzz bandwagon. No real customer value provided. But it’s touted like gold. In many ways they are con artists. Trying to push old stale products to customers . Broadcom can’t hire (or even interview) anyone talented in this area so the sham is quickly exposed when hype is exposed

The Captain has found a new ship to steer or ground....
Whether you liked the guy or not, he obviously didn’t like what was going to unfold over the coming year or 2.
He seemed to be a hand waving, honking “visionary” using every bright shiny-object term to talk about his business. Common wisdom dictates when that occurs it’s a house of cards...
Most Broadcom employees have no marketable skills. The skills they have is knowing old, crusty, legacy products, hacky and buggy code. Broadcom doesn’t hire anyone lower than level 5 because entry level will immediately recognize the role is a career k–ler — Using a technology stack that was invented before they were even born! They would quit because they have other options. Instead Broadcom focuses on hiring the old, the crusty, cannot pass an interview anywhere else, the desperate like those in 60’s or needing a visa, legacy individuals. Basically those that have no other option. Broadcom is the career last gasp
@5qoi ...well articulated. The called the CA acq all about acquiring a software museum. The artifacts are olde. I feel sorry for my ex-colleagues in ALL PARTS of the business. Unless you are t-minus 3-4 years from retirement...those guys have to be concerned with skills and need to exit ASAP....
I think Grand Funk has a perspective on this..,

CA never had anyone of notable talent
Here are some facts:
Many CA/Broadcom positions go unfilled because nobody applies
Occasionally a recruiter can find a s—er or two to interview. Often someone from a third rate school. But certainly never from a school you ever heard of.
Interviewers have such a low bar— failure here means you are not fit for any company
Sometimes management faces so much pressure to fill open positions. So offers are extended anyway to the last candidate that performed terribly.
Some positions are filled by L visa. no U.S. education. Unknown foreign school/degree holder. By far the worst talent in the industry. Makes sense too because many are from Hyderabad.
If you want to grow and learn your career then any CA product under Broadcom is NOT the place to be.
I wish my former colleagues well. Unfortunately if you are still there, then it’s not by choice. I’m sorry.
All the talented people I worked with at CA are not working with Broadcom. Who is left to grow the products? AR knows this so quitting while he’s ahead— he isn’t going to tarnish his reputation with the CA leftovers before getting a golden parachute as CEO.
Get Reddy.... notreddy is going to Texas.
Yes, these comments really show how many "insiders" post here.
No news but confirmed in his LinkedIn profile.
Who?
Leadership/management at Broadcom doesn’t do anything anyway other than collect a pay check and sell stock.
