Some people mentioned in some of the earlier threads that Broadcom tends to keep the organizational structure simple and that smaller organizations are in more danger to be eliminated or incorporated in larger ones.
With that in mind, is it safe to say that employees from smaller groups will be the first on the chopping block, without any regard to their actual performance as employees or any concrete analysis of what they contribute to the company?

Yes. How sly and efficient. A hardware company blowing 60 billion on a software company and most of the talent fleeing for the exits.
Performance and contributions of VMware employees is not relevant to Broadcom. It's all about the number of BU, departments, and amount of employees that they need to meet the business and financial objectives of the acquisition - the least, the better.
They love external managed services -cheap- which makes sense for a company with limited focus on innovation.
Broadcom is not into the product management mindset. That's an expensive model. The IT business-facing organizations and the shadow ITs in the business units (FSS, for example) will be gone fast with no questions asked. That's duplicate spend of IT work.
Having said that, Broadcom is a very efficient model with low spend, continuous increasing revenue, and motivated employees. These all translate to growth in the stock performance and that is the ultimate goal of each business.
