Pros

It used to be the best of the best, if SteelConnect becomes successful, it will be there again

Cons

The key to the current problems is that most of the Senior Exec leadership has left in the past 2 years and Riverbed is currently owned by a penny pinching Venture Capitalist firm Sales are falling fast as so many people are leaving for better wages and less big brother-like management. These falling sales are now leading to a finger pointing done at a professional level. I feel I spent 30% of my time asking for permission to do something or proving what I did to management. It used to be great here, morale is at a freefall

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.
