Pros

Great team. Very collaborative environment. Nice facilities. Competitive benefits. Compensation is ok. Good bonus program. Great university and intern program.

Cons

Rigid management, very traditional. Working remotely is not supported. Accountability is a big issue. While some work extra hard, others do not pull their weight and they still somehow manage to climb the ladder. Also, due to the lack of knowledge by some members of the 2nd tier mgt team, its difficult to find the leadership and support needed within the team.

Pros

Great People, made lifetime friends - Very grateful to have had the opportunity to learn, grow and show value being a part of what was really a great team of professionals for the most part. I knew the end was near since the revenue just never took the jump anticipated. We all worked really hard though. Good Luck to my X Brocade family where many will be looking for new jobs soon with the Broadcom acquisition around the corner.

Cons

After 10 years, 6 managers, You get 1 manager who ends your career. HR is NEVER on employee side. A manager can write you up just because they dont like you "Bad Attitude" and that will be the end to a career with so much work, dedication down the drain just like that. Its definitely been a life changing experience

Pros

new campus, that's about it.

Cons

decreased PTO policy, then re-instituted company shutdown to basically take back all the PTO; good move for the P&L and Balance Sheet, no so great for employees THIRD YEAR in row there wont be any raises used to have high bonuses, but not anymore; they are also cutting down on the percentage. Pay is now below average management is arrogant, incompetent, and has a sense of entitlement
