@dc OP is referring to GPO aka Fraser’s team aka the product org. XGIE is product marketing, if that’s what you mean.
What do you mean by product? I know of at least 4 groups that refer to themselves as product, mine being one of them.
It’s likely we’ll move to off the shelf products completely wiping out the need for custom product development
I haven't heard anything, but in my experience at Comcast, most layoffs stem from a reorg and follow this pattern:
Management -> Product -> Strategy -> Architecture -> Operations -> Engineering.
It generally depends on how much money they’re trying to cut. Comcast rarely cuts Engineering because it has typically been cautious about over-hiring and overpaying for engineering talent. I guess this time will be different...
For all the departments the answer is offshoring
I agree with a1, expect offshoring.
Expect a lot of offshoring, best guess
