Pros

Strong position in FC & growth in Datacentres. Benefited from initial technology developments.

Cons

Getting complacent on further R&D. For Datacentres and future, not much differentiating factors compared to any other systems company

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

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.
