It's a Joke!

Pros

we used to get paid big bonuses, but no more; however, the exec are still getting their nice perks the new campus is nice, but location is terrible; everyone's commute doubled.

Cons

they cut down on vacation accruals and vacation limits no matter what they have been advertising, they are not going to pay the usual bonus in Dec (which is a constant, so more like a salary than a real bonus)... GREAT! getting a small holiday generosity gift.... more like a slap in face at this point. Stock is so volatile, it's hard to rely on it for real long term appreciation; Morale is overall low Foundry acquisition backfired, obviously is not working; but if you listen to Klayko it's all going well...

Pros

Brocade provides relative stability which may be important for some people.

Cons

Bad career growth opportunities; there are no good people managers; i would not recommend anybody to start career here. Morale is bad lately after several actions taken by the current management.

Pros

Good salary, I got lured to come here from a IP competitor. The bump in salary was around $20K, who would refuse this. God only knows how much I regret this move.

Cons

I am working on the Foundry side of the house. It is absolute mad house, you have the old foundry style management - screaming in meetings, ask for slides at 8:00 PM for the next day 9:00 AM.
