Pros

Open and Encouraging work environment Talented group of young folks including engineering managers. Apple products, flex work hours, free food, drinks and usual tech company goodness Positive interaction with HR and lawyers (read immigration) New in 2013 - Riverbed The Brand Office in San Francisco!

Cons

Extremely niche and proprietary technology Company vision is focussed towards consolidation and acquisitions. No great innovation happening here anymore. Old school mentality. Managers comfy in their job. Not outwardly ambitious (which will affect you as an engineer) and they gossip a lot.

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.
