For Siemens to layoff this many people (and it is just a rumor for now) is not uncommon for a company that seems to be buying up end to end businesses. They make motors, gearboxes, controllers, electrical (consumer and industrial) and now they are in the CAD business. So this layoff would not necessarily reflect what is going on with CAD.
On the other side of the coin the SW hirings make it look like they are replacing a significant part of their software development team.
This job looks tasty. I wonder how long I would last?
