Pros

Made great friends there. If allowed to do you job for more than 6 months then you can get work done. Nice campus FC products are good Good layoff packages Chili cook-offs are fun

Cons

Management churn and the constant belief that the company will be sold off Strategy is changed every 6 months (even what's working) 1 step forward, steps back Ethernet products are only slooooowly improving. battle between FC which beings most of the revenue, Foundry Ethernet gear and Brocade Ethernet fabric - not helpful to the overall strategy of the company Inept marketing Inept support Culture used to be good, but has gone down hill - along with the focus of the company
