Pros

Not many except free food if you enjoy sugar cereal and salty snacks. Nothing healthy here.

Cons

It has a frat house/click mentally that seems supported my management and hard to break into. If your over the age of 40 watch out for the “good ol boys club”. It’s still strong. And entirely too much drinking in the office after 4pm.

A male dominated workplace

Pros

Great benefits, decent 401K, good personal enrichment classes.

Cons

• Engineering department is male-centric with very few women holding any management positions. • Women are not heard, are interrupted, and generally treated as inferior. I've been mansplained about subjects I know and told that I'm bothering them when asking clarification. • There is no recourse when dealing with senior male management, HR would rather write it off than deal with the underlying issues. • Required furlough vacation, employees must use 6 days of their vacation to take off during Riverbed designated holidays twice a year or go unpaid.

Riverbed Technology Response

Riverbed participates in numerous events throughout the year to help increase diversity, particularly in regards to hiring more women within the Engineering departments. Some of the outreach we participate in annually is the Women In Technology events where we sponsor many of our female engineers to participate. Riverbed has established relationships with WomenHack, Girls in Tech and Fairygodboss, and are constantly hiring to increase diversity not only in Engineering but across the organization. Riverbed prides itself on how employees are treated so we are sorry to hear you felt co-worker interactions where not satisfactory to the level you expected. Lastly, in the US, we have implemented two full offices closings during the traditionally quiet periods of July 4th and Thanksgiving weeks. This provided US employees with valuable time-off to be free from work distractions and spend time with friends and family. The feedback from Riverbed’s staff has been overwhelmingly positive and staff have requested we continue the office closing periods for 2019. Employees always receive pay for this time off unless they elect otherwise. We believe in work-life balance and this is one of the ways we act upon this key company value.

Pros

Great work-life balance, people are very nice, great office environment, very good benefits, free class both online and in person.

Cons

The energy is not there anymore, people are leaving and big titled people are leaving, and a recent layoff occurred. Also, the CEO is not very engaging with staff, which makes him appear arrogant. Salary is low, and no bonus.
