      On the downward slide.....

      Pros

      Riverbed used to be a great place to work where management appeared to care about the employees.

      Cons

      Since going private, it's become apparent that the only real concern is for the equity firm to get their money out of the company. Sales are declining, particularly for the core SteelHead products. Management, which now mostly consists of Cisco castoffs, is extremely myopic and although states new directions supporting major partners for managed services, continues to deliver products solely focused on the Enterprise which is in turn causing major revenue shortfalls with those same partners. Recent job actions (RIF) resulted in the loss of good people while many that contribute little to the company were retained.

      Pros

      Large Installed base from WAN Opt to sell other products to and a few customers still need WAN Opt. There are snacks at corporate.

      Cons

      WAN Opt market is shrinking. New products don't work well, management provides little to no value, and the talent pool is drastically shrinking.

      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
