Pros

1) Great compensation package: To attract the right talent, Brocade pays a premium. With all the options scandals with the previous management this is what the company has to do in the valley to attract and retain top talent 2) Relaxed work environment : The company has a relaxed work environment. It could vary from group to group. But overall its evolving into a big company with processes and timelines that are comparable to a much larger company rather than a startup 3) Good work life balance : The company has a great benefits package. It truly takes care of its employees and tries to maintain the work life balance. 4) Nice people to work with : The company is a mixture of old timers and new employees. Its got a good vibe to it.

Cons

1) Slow pace of innovation : As with any company that is a market leader, brocade tends to be a little slow with introducing any new technology that could potentially upset the apple cart. 2) Conservative company that has a wait and watch policy towards technology. it tends to follow the leader rather than innovate and come up with something new

Pros

Exposure to leading edge software technologies is great. They are not cowed by the lawyers afraid to touch open source software, rather they embrace it wherever possible. This is a great company to gain experience and exposure. They also allow me time off when needed without a lot of hoopla. I appreciate this, and it makes it difficult to ponder leaving. They also give me 6 weeks vacation after 4 years service, even if they do forced shutdowns at July 4th and Christmas.

Cons

Not much peer respect compared to other companies. The bonus/profit sharing plan pits engineers against team leads, and against managers. All are vying for the same bucket of dollars. So you can guess who gets the higher percentages on payouts.
