No Longer a Good Place to Work

Pros

- Very competitive salaries - Bonus Incentive Plan - high company multipliers

Cons

- The company is getting really political - The shift to IP networking business is not going well - Lack of executive leadership, strategy, vision, and planning - Benefits have been drastically reduced (personal time off), and my guess is that bonuses will decrease moving forward - Company hires a lot of new university graduates, many of whom just do program/project management, keep spreadsheets, track checklists, and set up meetings with little understanding of the business either financially or technically - There is an old boys club here

Pros

Generous and consistent bonuses Relentless drive toward an ever expanding line of new products Great group of people

Cons

I no longer get a sense that the leadership of this company knows with conviction where Brocade is going. There is some obvious damage control cheer leading going on now in response to last year's failure to successfully court HP. A recently trimmed benefits package came several months after Forbes compiled their "Best Companies to Work For" survey. Lack of opportunity to advance or transition
