CA Technologies Associate Software Engineer reviews

Long meetings with senior engineers. These meeting are supposed to allow you to gain a better insight on what your team is working on, but they can be long and tedious.

As the title says, CA is a place where products go to die. I was part of their corporate ASE program for recent grad hires. They flew us out twice, provided lodging/transportation, and food for a fun training program. My first week on the job there was a layoff of QA. 9 months later, it was a sub-40 person layoff. Now, it looks like the site will be shut down. Our jobs are being outsourced because they think some idiot overseas is even worth 1/3 of an engineer here. Managers and directors were overworked and overstressed. Many good products bought by CA are run into the ground. Attrition is high, and an uneasy feeling of job security looms everyday. They couldn't even commit to more than a year and a half for a new hire they put through their corporate program.
