Pros

* Free snack bar * Free food (sometimes) * Good people * Good gift at Christmas time.

Cons

* Managers/Directors has lots of power (Which they misuse) * Commute ( Not allowed to work from Sunnyvale office) * No way to make money apart from your base salary * Yearly appraisal are totally in manager's hand, he can screw you (which he did to me) * Managers never let employee write the goals and objective and its on their discretion. * Be ready for the surprises in appraisal * Never trust your managers * No fun at work place, People just come and work they never interact with each other. * Never join the Pilot QA group (Bad Manager and no visibility)

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.
