Pros

The folks that work in engineering are AMAZINGLY talented. Very bright, easy to work with and I have never had any issues working with them due to personality, language barriers, etc. My previous experience has been quite a doozy and Riverbed is a refreshing change. Our team is treated very similar to a start up, so we work at a very quick pace and sometimes the deadlines are daunting, yet I've seen growth in my knowledge and understanding of systems as a whole. In general, this place is EXCELLENT and I would recommend it to any of my friends/colleagues that are looking for a change.

Cons

Well.. It's treated like a start up, so it's a lot of work. But, you get compensated fairly and also have *some* breathing room, so that's nice.

Pros

Riverbed provides excellent support to employees in a crisis whether during or off work hours. The company genuinely wants it's employees to be happy and grow in their careers. In general all my supervisors have been concerned about ensuring a proper work/life balance; when the balance got out of whack management was generally verbally supportive of repairing the balance.

Cons

While Riverbed wants its employees to grow and be happy the ways it does this are not generally things that I find important. There seems to be a general lack of concern for employee comfort (or discomfort). Money appears to be the all important driver for everything. While management was verbally supportive of address any work/life balance issues the actions taken to actually improve things was greatly lacking.
