Post-VMware acquisition: Is it truly over, or just the beginning?

Okay, so the big VMware integration is supposedly 'done' on the layoff front, but I'm still not convinced. We've seen quite a few folks from the acquired teams depart, which was expected. But what about us 'legacy' Broadcom folks? I've heard some chatter from folks in other divisions, especially those that might see overlap with VMware's tech, that things are still being evaluated. Are there any teams that are completely untouched? Or are we all just waiting for the next shoe to drop? I'm trying to gauge the broader impact beyond the initial VMware hires. Feels like a lot of uncertainty still, and management isn't exactly being forthcoming with details. Anyone have any intel on what the long-term headcount strategy looks like?

It's understandable to feel uneasy. Acquisitions always bring uncertainty, and the scale of this one is massive. While some initial restructuring is often immediate, the full integration and optimization process can take months, even years. It's not unusual for decisions about team structures and roles to continue unfolding as leadership gains a deeper understanding of the combined entity. Keep an eye on internal communications and official announcements for clarity, though I know that's easier said than done when things feel up in the air.
