VMW employee here, trying to fish for some details on how the layoff or retention notification experience was to those that were around during time of acquisition. Some are saying that you got notified before the closing date. Is this true? If so... —  read more 

Check out Black Mirror, Season 6, Episode 1. Set in the old CA office in Ditton Park, UK.

It's a bit sad that almost no one here expects any improvements but only that things will get even worse. Everyone I know is looking for a way out. Sometimes I can't believe that this company has been run into the ground so badly.

Heard of major hits in AUstralia…

crowd is really in full force here... so little progress...so much time.... though i will say the plunging stock market has def delayed some folks going out to pasture. LMFAO

If the economy turns around, do you anticipate any CA layoffs? Any chatter, news or rumors?

Time to people and products around. Because that will solve all problems.

I heard the building was sold for peanuts and was empty, so the new owners are tearing it down. Anyone know of any articles or pictures?

Maybe someone has more details about annual layoffs? Please spill the beans if you have any insights.

I have a question, does anyone miss Mike G? From my view, Hock is a much better CEO. While I may not agree with everything he does, he knows how to run a company and really is present. Something Bike Boy never did. I still remember the time I was... —  read more 

I ask purely out of curiosity, did you ever start thinking that those who got laid off after the Broadcom acquisition ended up better off in the end?

How many people did Broadcom get rid of after they bought CA? We're hearing crazy numbers being thrown around, it'd be nice to get some info from somebody who knows what he or she is talking about. Too many people like to use situations like this to... —  read more 

People can’t leave fast enough. Everyone is sick of this place. More and more people are leaving. The pressure on us who are still here is growing. It also motivates those who planned to stay for a while to leave earlier. Replacements... —  read more 

After I made a mistake and stayed here for more than five years, I would advise everyone not to stay here that long. This is actually a very good place to start if you don’t have a lot of experience, but nothing more than that. I don't think anyone... —  read more 

These days I am especially bored of this place. Same issues, same atmosphere, just ole boys club .... There hasn't been any change for the better for months, if not years. Anyone else feeling bored? I should have left a long time ago.

I left a long while ago... sometimes i go back posting something for curiosity... is the ca support , based on different countries, still existing or, has everything centralized to.. Prague in Europe for example..

people left here anymore.... lol

I would not recommend this place even to those who are coming to gain their first work experience. I came with such an intention and now I regret it because I feel like I was just wasting my time. I cannot say that I have gained any special... —  read more
