Pros
Team effort , willingness to help out across the company provided you stay within the segemented groups, OEM or channel. Product management and marketing used to have some great teams who were always willing to step up to the plate and help. Great intern and college hire program almost to a fault. Visiting the corp.office can make you feel like you are on a college campus. However Brocade does a good job of getting some very good talent from this on-going program.
Kontras
Ego growing attitudes of some recently promoted/ hired managers. Channel and OEM business conflicts. Remote offices can feel alienated at times. Still a good ole boys attitude in many areas across the country even if you are male and you can hold your own on sports conversations. It is still who you know and how much of a buddy you are.
