Amazing place

Pros

Fall in love with this place since day 1.Open environment, everyone works hard and play hard. Really appreciate the transparency between upper mgmt and it's employees. You are working on cutting edge technology with the highest talent and brightest mind. Everyone here is friendly. (RVBD is #1 in WAN optimization as of today) Free perks and the game rooms are always a plus. Awesome location for both SF and Sunnyvale, lots of great food around the office, and Sunnyvale is moving to the brand new balling building soon. Best place to work in the valley.

Cons

Cannot think of anything negative about Riverbed. Work can be little fast paced at times.

Pros

I've been a defense contractor and IT contractor for a decade, so I have a pretty good sampling of the good and the bad! Everything my past employers have done wrong, this place does right. It's a company that thrives on the motto of "we only hire rockstars." And they've done so, and it's worked beautifully. They dont just hire the managers or engineers that are fantastic on paper - you have to have a pulse, a personality, and social cohesion. They dont hire employees, they hire team members, and its a feeling you get from the first interview.

Cons

It's new, relatively young, and the stock has been volatile. All of that said, its not as bad as it could be.
