Pros

Amazing individual contributors. Some of the best and brightest I have had the pleasure to work with. Great innovative products that challenge and are fun to work on and with. Amazing network of company partners to help get your products out.

Cons

This is hard. I love Brocade. It has been my home for MANY years. However there are some new issues, in the last 12 months that are becoming an issue. 1.) With the exception of some individual promotions, raises have not been given in 2yrs or more for MANY people. 2.) In Dec, for the first time in the many many years I have been here, the 1/2 yr bonus was not paid. A Holiday bonus was given to soften the blow, however it was maybe 20% of what was normally received. Now, these two items would have been acceptable. We had a bad quarter, and they were very generous during years that many of my friends received no bonuses. Most were ok with this, IF not for two items. 1.) There was a filing made in December showing that the Exec team all received SIGNIFICANT raises. 2.) There was in the same filing a cash bonus set up for the same team that would further increase the executive compensation. If we sacrifice, they must sacrifice. Otherwise we leave. June will be very telling to the future as to which of us will be staying at Brocade.
