CA is by far the most ruthless software company in the world. The practices inside the company are similar to Broadcom, swift and sharp. The policy for retention and severance are nearly identical.
They fire at will with no warning and gut almost every company they acquire. You are either contributing to the numbers that make Wall Street happy or you are out. Don't think about retiring from the company because no one does and you should plan accordingly. I came into CA via acquisition, led multiple business units during my 5+ years and bought multiple companies for them so I've been through the drill. Testifying before the SEC, watching my former boss Sanjay Kumar being sent to prison a few years after I left. CA would like for people to believe the company changed, it did not. The old culture lives on and it will be even more emboldened by the acquisition by Broadcom.
