Pros

Reasonable salary. Good work-life balance. Good facilities. Engineering centric company compared to similar sized companies

Cons

Thought future roadmap is clear, it's not clear how to reach there. Management seems laid back. There is no aggressiveness from the management and engineers for the products that Brocade is far behind.

A lot of change and turmoil

Pros

Salaries are very competitive with good benefits, bonus structure and stock plans. Most of the people there are great.

Cons

Way too much politicking and land grabbing. CEO changed during my time there, so there was a huge change in executive management. That created a lot of turmoil throughout the company. The CEO announcing right after he started that they would cut cost by $100M turned the place into a revolving door for individual contributors.

Pros

Nice building, fun community activities, solid employee benefits with competitive salary scale. Fair work/life balance overall.

Cons

Lacking and weak: leadership, measurable performance, management skill, corporate image, long term innovating technology roadmap. Prefer Mr/Ms Yes rather than those who is daring to make a difference and think outside the box.
