Pros

Consistent bonuses, and a pretty decent ESPP for a while. I work with some really smart and fun people!

Cons

Where do I begin? New management hasn't shown the ability to improve shareholder value by increasing revenues from sales. Instead, it's all one-trick-pony cost reduction, heavily reinforced by offshoring (which they seem to be very proud of). Morale is at an all-time low since I came here ten years ago, and attrition is very noticeable and having a detrimental impact in engineering.

Pros

As being part of an acquired company, the company I was with gave great options and a good salary. You worked on leading edge products and features.

Cons

Expected long hours, expected late hours of work lack of options/incentives from Brocade little ability to move between product families Rehashed products no longer bleading edge just cheaper lower price points as of the past several years.

Pros

Benefits and pay. Brocade pays a little above average and the benefits are very good with an additional 40 hours available for volunteer time in the community. There is a gym available onsite. Very good working relationship with development. Brocade hasn't missed a bonus as long as I have been here but that is not a given. there is decent work-life balance.

Cons

Career dead end. Most people have been here (Broomfield Campus anyway) for many, many years in their respective roles which is a double edged sword in the sense that people are happy here but there is no movement. Managers don't seem to have the time or interest to foster career plans for team members. Other than the bi-annual performance review I have had to initiate all manager one-on-one conversations about career growth.
