      Unrealistic Expectations

      Territory sales
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good systems put in place for quoting and sales management. Training is always available. Encouraged to manage sales territory autonomously.

      Cons

      Unrealistic goals. Each region treated the same as far as quota and revenue achievement. (Idaho has less business than San Francisco). They lost a step with the Foundry puchase. Ethernet switches are not as powerful as competition (Extreme, Force10, Arista...etc.) Before Foundry purchase, sales were mostly through OEM. Brocade management didn't know how to manage sales going directly to VAR or customer.

      Inept management forces you to work twice as hard for half the results.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Decent salary and benefits if you don't factor in the forced overtime. Nice new campus but engineering cubes are tiny (6x6 feet) with half-height walls and no privacy. Close to shopping & restaurants.

      Cons

      Inept, nepotistic managers. They hire their relatives, friends, people they went to school with and give them the best jobs, lion share of promotions/salary increases and bonuses. Hard work gets you nowhere. Mgmt is very secretive. You will be the last to know when anything changes. Mgrs spin a story about inclusiveness but it's all lies. Corporate part of the company is bloated and overcompensated. There are literally directors/sr. directors with just one person reporting into them. Legacy of Greg Reyes stock option scandal still haunts the company. Company is in decline. Many good engineers are leaving.
