Sr Systems Engineer - Brocade USED to be a top place to work!

Senior systems engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Salary is very attractive compared to industry standard. Much higher than average.

Cons

The purchase of Foundry Networks has started a downward spiral of this company. It was Brocades forward thinking and great treatment of employees that kept them wanting to work there. Ever since the acquisition of Foundry it is all about IP with Foundry management now running the show. This is probably great if you are an ex Foundry employee...If you are classic Brocade...not so much!

Business Outlook

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
