Unlike many other tech companies having a lots of "start-up-like" projects or some divisions for getting into new business, Broadcom only focus on most profitable parts to archive strong "GDP per capita". Divisions with less profitability are fragile during the merge. On the other hand, profitable ones are safe, and even will be given more resources. This will be figured out during the next 1 or 2 years after the sale closed. Your fates really depend on your group and your business, not your job functions or titles. Broadcom is unique amount these tech companies. You have to get used to it.

"When I was there it was all about focusing on woke ideology and whatever the next party was."
And where are you working now? Home Depot? Do you only have peers and managers that look like you?
What a loser.
Interpreting OP to mean the days of BUs adding dozens of new SKUs to price books for products that don't sell are over. BC will tell you what's going to be profitable and what to work on, not so much VMW PM/engg. That's what you'll need to get used to.
Y'all get parties?
And what ideology? "Avoid interoperability at all costs?" BUs hate each other so much they will cheerfully pay more to buy a competitor's product before even trying to use another BU's product.
This concept of focusing on the success of the product and the mney it makes is new to VMware and will be hard for most employees. When I was there it was all about focusing on woke ideology and whatever the next party was.
OK... This is already widely known. Broadcom's operating model has been known since last May. That's why there are dozens of "Is my BU safe?" posts.
Obviously not you. Why you care when it's not for you
Who asked you?
