Pros

Brocade pays above market for job grades. For persons who need a stable job with low turn-over concerns, a person can coast here for years. I did observe people get let go in my time at Brocade, however most people had a tenure of eight or more years.

Cons

The work provided was mundane, boring or non-existent. Employee satisfaction or engagement was not of interest to management. As most employees were in their job roles 8+ years, the prevailing attitude I observed was apathy and disinterest. Nonetheless, some people did work hard. Overall however, the workplace was an uninspiring place to work. If you are a go-getter and interested in career growth, this is probably not the employer for you.

Pros

Engg is aggressive in nature and high is expected off of employees. Bonus program has been very good inspite of having competitive salaries. Rewards performance very well. The technical talent is abundant and you really get to work on products to completion and no dragging or outright cancellation of projects. It is a good place to learn, excel and grow.

Cons

Pressure is high. Performance bar is high. Always gears itself to utilize resources (people) as best as they can and it could involve more group changes, work assignment changes etc. You should be willing to jump in and delivery when asked.

Pros

Well run organization. Support structure is better than most so it isn't too hard to get things done.

Cons

Not a very "fun" environment. Seen as a boring part of the tech industry. Past stock scandal still casts a shadow even thought the company is now VERY careful to do everything the right way.
