I was at CA for approx twenty years before the Broadcom acquisition. I miss the culture, teams, fun and sense of “family” but the salaries they were paying us would never have been feasible to live off of given the massive cost increase in everything from housing to healthcare to college to groceries.
Broadcom’s equity compensation is a unicorn once in a lifetime opportunity for many of us who would otherwise be looking at our retirement options scratching our heads.

Guess your wait is over...427 and rising.
It's no wonder that this forum often mentions how top heavy and sc--wed up the place was
It is still top heavy.
Pat G was a total fraud
Paid fines to SEC
This can all be blamed on Pat G.
He was a pretty sheeeeET exec at multiple companies.
I miss 420. I will wait an eternity for 420.
I miss it too, but in my dozen-plus years of working there, I miss the first half much more than the second. Seemed like we got over bloated with acquisitions and hundreds of different ways of doing the same thing. Worse though, was the growing revolving door of people with some variation of Manager (project/program/release/architecture/process/etc) in the title but no direct reports. You know the kind. The ones who fill the calendar with meetings to dispense ever changing direction. Then in 3-4 months they're gone, and you start over with the next ones. It's no wonder that this forum often mentions how top heavy and sc--wed up the place was. Maybe they never worked at VMW in its heyday though.
I don't miss a phony inclusion culture that actually segregated more than included any one or any tech. And this place pays me like 10x more to do the same d-mb engineering job so... no I don't miss it at all. I only miss the work friends who were RIFd.
I agree and miss the culture. I do wish they had a better focus on consolidating and joining solutions like for example what VCF is becoming now. The caveat I'll add is that, I understand BCOM is doing that now, however with very heavy handed and aggressive anti-customer focused tactics, which I don't agree with.
I don’t miss Magoo and Betsy “let’s make the company woke vibe”
Where are everyone’s pronouns on zoom?
I guess we all are just racists now - at least by Betsy’s moral compass.
Did Magoo ever find a clean and pressed shirt to wear with his $50 million payday?
I don't like to invest in anything that is actively trying to destroy my income
Hey it is OK over here.
