Pros

Lot of people who made the place feel like a cult have left since the sale.

Cons

Riverbed used to be a decent place to work, despite a core of people who acted like a "fun" cult. But since before the buyout they have completely lost direction. There are too many useless managers, and too many fulltime engineers working 30 hour weeks. Management spends too much on things like new building, new company colors and stupid product names - even Christmas party in city Hall and parade.

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.
