Pros

Brocade was a leader in 100Gbps Dual port ethernet and Software Defined Networking (SDN). Brocade data center ethernet has a great market share. Many smart people to work with. Decent compensation overall.

Cons

Culture at Brocade was often to take on too much work, not prioritize properly, overwork employees and try to do too much in very tight schedules.

Pros

Brocade provides a great environment for one to learn. Great benefits and easy to collaborate with various department across the company. Plenty of room to grow.

Cons

Can be difficult to implement changes as a lot of employees/upper management are stuck in their ways. Also want x, y and z done but no real plans(could just be my department).

Pros

The company has reasonably good benefits and appears to be stable. The campus is nice. They typically pay out a bonus every 6 or 12 months.

Cons

Meetings are routinely held in the early morning as well as the night. This extends the normal work day to about 15 hours. Promotion is rare an typically requires someone to leave. Salary increases are low even for employees with the highest performance reviews.
