      Work environment of high expectations

      Staff software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      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.

      Brocade is under the radar, but not a bad place to work

      Manager

      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.

      Communications to employees should be improved and ways to better retain individual contributors are a must.

      Pros

      The technology we develop to help our customers meet their goals and objectives are top notch and just work. The go to market strategy has proven to be very effective over the years although it can also hurt the organization when the company leadership attempts to apply industry standard (which are generally different goto market strategies i.e non-OEM model) compensation , sales coverage, and services and support strategies to this model. Summary - good products and talented people.

      Cons

      Not much room for career advancement outside HQ's location. Many management positions (especially field related) have been held by the same individuals for years and the turn over of very talented individual contributors to the competition are hurting technology development and market/sales growth. The creation of business units only creates more management layers, political jockeying by managers, and threatens customer focus. The past/recent acquisitions excites current managers because they get to manage more employees/advance their career w/ new titles, but creates headaches for the individual contributor that has to complete the tough work to merge systems/policies, communicate to customers, and navigate through the internal politics of business units to try and fend off the competition - this threatons the loss of talented people.
