Vantaggi
I have worked for a couple fortune 100 companies, and in my experience Brocade has surpassed my expectations for the enjoyment of my work and experience within corporate America. Brocade makes work flexible for individuals and offers much freedom when it comes to telecommuting. The salaries are some of the highest paid in the industry and the semi-annual bonus' (although dependent on companies performance) are a great addition. Brocade also offers free VTA bus pass and nice gym within headquarters. Another plus is that a restaurant/hotel just opened directly next to HQ where it is common you will find coworkers sharing happy hour after work and relaxing in the lawn chairs by the pool. I would say the company culture is pretty outgoing and welcoming from the start. Even though it's a fairly large company, it doesn't feel as big by the compradore that exists within the company.
Svantaggi
If there was a company shuttle that possibly went to East Bay, SF, and maybe even South San Jose to help the commute for those employees that are coming a far distance to the North San Jose headquarters. Brocade is the underdog in the network industry, and there has been a lot of rumors/ speculation of being acquired by another company.
