The Vancouver APIM office is moving to suburban Richmond. A steady stream of people are leaving. Looks like the APIM product won't be around too long if all the senior engineers walk out. Any other office losing people due to relocation?

I heard that even retention bonuses were not keeping the people around! I guess we shall see what life in Richmond brings for APIM.
Broadcom f&ed up this one with the move to Richmond decision. The brain drain continues as the move gets closer and APIM goes into mothballs. No goodbye cards anymore. Just the weekly farewell parties after work. Those who were willing to give Broadcom company a try got shafted with this move and looked like idots for staying. People offered jobs back after transition are more likely to say no. They got paid out already. Not smart bizness.
@XFRxewJ-Dhev I so hope you get to be one to explain that to customers when renewals come up! Please film that and put up a link here!
It's funny how every one is up in arms and doomsaying that these products will die out. Get real, your position will be outsourced and life will go on. You're not some irreplacable developer angel, snowflake.
same with other products of ES as well, they either have no clue or dont care, probably both!
This is the end of gateway & apim products originally from Layer7. Broadcom really screwed up if they wanted to keep that product line. People were leaving before the 50% layoffs in Nov, and kept leaving after. With the move to Richmond they'll be lucky to keep 10% of the staff size from this time last year. And thats not necessarily the best 10% either, just the “lucky” ones or the ones unable to land elsewhere.
internal experts eventually became contractors, and work for CA then Broadcom.
depends on region and product, for mine in particular the most knowledge was in the company, half left when ca aquired us, the other half when broadcom aquired us again, and they did not go to hcl.
@XFRxewJ-2xdl Didn't CA use contractors to do this, since the services and other parts of CA were incompetent in the deployment of their own products?
no one said broadcom will not survive, some products in es can not survive without experts in how to use them in an enterprise environment. Why do you think all experts were kept in the mf bu? because you can not b---s--- mf customers, well guess what es, these are now your customers!
Outsourced to HCL... Wow you really think you are special and that Broadcom won't survive without you... "experts"
point is not proven with a pla deal, point is proven after successfully running in production! Lets see how that works without experts!

We will really miss you Vancouver office, Broadcom will do "Horrible" without you
All you people fighting internally on a outside message board about the stupid comapny you work for. Really get a life!! you work there , you're not married to the bloody thing. If it profits you wont neccesarily directly benefit from it anyway. Collect your salay, go find a girl/guy and actually live your life. This was one of the worst aspects of working at CA, it's a company that pays your salary not a bloody cult.
That's right, give me more minuses, you know that's the reality and you overestimate your importance. I remember hearing "People leaving in droves, steady stream of people leaving" please, if you are unhappy go to DXC or other company if they will accept you, and leave Broadcom to flourish and profit.
I hope also the last one who posted could be based in Hyderabad....
Trust me, we will survive without you overexpensive employees. Everything will go to Prague and India now. Please don't overestimate your importance in the company, a lot of other people have been laid off yet Broadcom is doing better than ever, and frankly, all the CA products are doing well as well.
