Broadcom has carried out staff reductions across its sales, customer success, account management, and solutions teams, according to LinkedIn posts and a person familiar with the situation. The cuts, which took place earlier this week, are part of a broader pattern of workforce adjustments at the company. The exact number of affected roles remains unclear. The moves come as Broadcom continues to restructure following its acquisition of VMware in late 2023. Since then, VMware’s workforce has been cut by approximately half, according to Business Insider. The company has also raised prices on many of VMware’s products, signaling a shift in strategy. Despite these reductions, Broadcom has seen strong growth driven by the AI boom. The company designs specialized chips that power AI infrastructure and reached a market capitalization of $1 trillion late last year. In a major development earlier this week, Broadcom announced a strategic agreement with OpenAI to supply 10 gigawatts of custom AI accelerators, underscoring its growing role in the AI hardware supply chain. The company has not publicly commented on the latest staffing changes. However, the cuts reflect a broader trend of streamlining operations as Broadcom focuses on scaling its AI-related businesses and improving efficiency. While the sales and support teams have been impacted, the company remains heavily invested in research, development, and manufacturing of high-performance semiconductors critical to the AI revolution.
