Thread regarding CA Technologies (CA Inc.) layoffs

Any news or rumors related to the APIM BU?

I know the team is spread across Vancouver, Santa Clara and India.

@VuMonMa-4yle I have yet to see this happen, in over 10 years at CA. If you're counting adding onshore people to an already offshored project, then I can say you are grasping at straws.

So many projects went to PTC or ITC only to come back to NA. I don't know if it's bc of quality of offshore engineering or their 40%+ attrition rate.

@3fbc you're right but that's not a USA problem it's a CA problem

@VuMonMa-2yfr You must have drank way too much of the MAGA koolaid. Offshore teams produce just as much innovative work as onshore teams; there is nothing special about US teams. Look at all of the mainframe side projects and ideas that came out of PTC: they actually have the drive to try something new instead of the complacent horde of Super Sr Principal Architects in the US offices, who sit around for years just collecting paychecks.

No need for explanation here. Moving offshore is to cut savings , innovation was never in the picture (or It won’t be in future too) . Declining quality and no growth proves it .

CA does not care about innovation. You must work in one of the newly acquired businesses like Automic or something. Nobody cares about keeping the product with its original engineers. Just ask the nimsoft guys. Oh wait you can't, they all got fired and their jobs moved to India.

@VuMonMa-1zxr I live in the real world where actual innovation happens where a product has its roots among his creators and origin engineers. Thats where the passion lies - Not where it is off shored to. Wasn't flowdock offshored to ITC and its latest release got riddled with issues?.

Some BUs are aware of it or otherwise they would have moved 50% of the workforce to offshore by now ( according to your logic- o' enlightened being). Broadcom gives the BU GM power to cut down or offshore so i feel that its up to the respective GMs- APIM or otherwise.

@VuMonMa-1lbg What fantasy world do you live in? CA has been moving existing products offshore for years, and arguably they are justified in doing so because you don't need a full blown American college degree to write code. Hell, I've seen better passion and dedication coming from PTC and ITC teams than their complacent US counterparts.

That never stopped CA from moving development to ITC before. Just ask the netQoS guys. Or the Spectrum guys. Or the UIM guys. Or...

@VuMonMa-buy Not moving to ITC. That would be a disaster for a profitable BU like APIM ( gartner quadrant right below Apigee) since we cannot expect the same quality from ITC as we get from Vancouver or CA. its a joke over there

It's getting moved to ITC starting early Q1 next year. Vancouver is getting ramped down initially followed by Santa Clara by midyear. The list has been prepared and should be finalized this month. A very small handful of SMEs will remain for the longer term, but knowing Broadcom they'll get chopped eventually.

I’ve heard it’s being folded into Security under the new ES umbrella.
