Force10 From Navarone, er San Jose
The name-sake of Force10 Networks is the 1978 WW2 thrilled Force 10 From Navarone staring Harrison Ford in an early role.
We first profiled Force 10 back in March '05 and noted then that we hadn't "thought about Gigabit Ethernet in a while (thank God), but our review of Force10 reminds us of the riches that await those who break into the networking space with a promising technology and the right management." Though it hasn't been able to stage an IPO yet, Force 10 seems to still be attracting big dollars -- the company just raised another $50M and is hiring geeks like it's 1999.
Force 10 has over 75 job listings at its site -- most are in engineering and based at HQ in homely San Jose, CA. They also seem to have an outpost in Chennai, India. Never been, but it can't be much worse that San Jose. Job-seeker advice: ask to see the numbers before you sign up for this one -- Force 10 needs to have good revenue coming in the door.
