Pros

Great people in the Minnesota office. Decent pay and benefits.

Cons

Leadership primed the company for sale by leaning out every organization to bare bones, as well as out sourcing. With Broadcom buying the SAN business and everything else being sold off to the highest bidder, who knows what will become of "Brocade". It's sad to see a company be victim of a sellout. Hopefully the IP side stays as one piece.

Pros

Great co-workers and generally great ground level to middle management. The wages are pretty good, and the benefits are ok. For DC networking, Brocade is quite good.

Cons

401k match was cut in half a year or two ago with no notification to employees. Senior level to executive level management does not seem to have a firm understanding of our industry segment which has translated into only moderate advances in our technology. They seem to understand running a business well, but not the more specific aspects of running a great network product portfolio. We always seems to be one step behind our two biggest competitors as a result. Also, there is a lot of uncertainty around the acquisition of our IP business. I don't fault the management for this, but it has had a negative impact on morale and sales cycles.
