Pros

Flexibility to work from home

Cons

Clueless senior leadership. CEO manages by fear. Does not empower managers or staff. Secretive with what is going on with the parent company. Negatively calls out entire teams during Town Hall calls and his only words of wisdom are 'Sell More'. Ridiculous GTM Sales strategy, over engineered, highly complex, which customers do not get, hence why they have so few tier one large enterprise customers. Company misses quarterly sales targets which launches the parent company into action in the form of making more cuts. Absolutely bare minimum benefits and extremely onerous contract terms of employment. Insanely political, toxic environment. There is no work/life balance.

Pros

Great technology across two platforms. One focused on the original flagship platform, WAN Optimization. The second platform uses the integration of technologies through previous acquisitions to provide a very robust and unified IT observability solution. The SaaS version of the latter has finally achieved FedRAMP accreditation which was sorely need for U.S. Federal sales.

Cons

I left a couple of years ago due to new leadership and it's deaf ear to the then federal sales team and needs to achieve sales goals without having Riverbed SaaS platform accredited to operate on U.S. Federal Government networks.
