Pros
During my tenure of my career at Brocade, I found that the company is very employee friendly. During recessions, while other companies were doing pay cuts and layoffs in 2008-2009, Brocade gave bonuses as long as it could, and instead of paycut, did something called MUTO - Mandatory Unpaid Time Out (like 5 days of unpaid vacation that was like a win-win situation for both employees and company). It also encourages a lot of physical exercise for the health of the employees, provides a fantastic gym with several free trainer packages, etc. Is a go-green company, and also has philanthropy in mind, and helps out a lot of causes. Also provides 5 days of voluntary leave for the employees to do some volunteering activity.
Ofcourse, all this was under the leadership of the CTO at that time, who was Michael Klayko. I wonder if the situation still remained the same after the change of leadership to Lloyd Carney
Cons
One and only Con - Politics, both inter and intra group politics
