Not much to set Brocade apart from the pack of companies in the Valley, but they pay well.

Pros

Salary. Very generous company and operates on a reasonable budget. Not a lot of second guessing that I have noticed. Management tends to be very project focused and very big on excecution.

Cons

the company is struggling to grow from a mid-size to large company, and in doing so it's adopting large-company practices and policies too soon. Administrative overhead is going to become a problem and a hinderance if they don't choose well.

Pros

Brocade is well known in the ASIC industry in silicon valley. Most people I work with are very smart and dedicated. The average technical skill among engineers in brocade is the best among all the companies I worked for. I like the culture that as long as you are good and contribute to the company, you get the respect from your peers and management team.

Cons

Work and life balance is hard.
