The discussions so far have been focused on the US workforce. Would anyone have information of what BC did with offshore offices and teams in CA and Symantec after those acquisitions? Our teams are large in Costa Rica and India (primarily, Bangalore) and we wonder what will happen to us. We have very nice offices in these locations so I also wonder how long it would take to take over or dismantle these children organizations, assuming this is what will happen. Thoughts, please?

Depending on the work being done in these locations will determine the answer. Generally, India will be cut pretty severely if they are doing low level stuff.
Closing offices is a write off at Broadcom so the cost to shut them down will be written off.
Prediction: 70% to be laid off in India; 50% in Costa Rica.
You may want to ask Fictional Hock though in the other post.
