Pros

Brocade has a beautiful campus, airy offices, flexible hours, and open communication among workers. Everyone was very friendly and pro-Brocade.

Cons

Movement within the company seems a little restricted. Atmosphere, while comfortable was a little dull. Overall, nothing too bad about working there, but nothing extraordinary.
