Business Outlook
Pros
Good work life balance. Riverbed is a really good company location wise, it is the heart of San Francisco, and employee can choose to work. Free snacks.
Cons
Some of the top talents are leaving or has already left Riverbed. The core business of WAN optimization is still good, but other than that there isn't much growth on other areas. The new owner is private investment firm, and to them everybody is replace-able or it is just a number. I am really glad that seen the good days of Riverbed, it is the people that made Riverbed so special. It is hard to be promoted in riverbed. I have seen competent engineers got stuck the same title for 6+ yrs, while less competent engineers got promoted to be managers and senior managers.
