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.

Pros

They work hard to provide high quality products, but they also believe in treating their employees well. They have strong salary and benefits. They are open to change.

Cons

Even though they are 10 years old, they still feel a lot like a start-up. This is a pro in many regards, but where they still suffer is providing good documentation for new employees, good tools to make working easier, and good tried-and-true processes to improve work and quality.

Pros

Low pressure environment, can work from home once a week. Really good ESPP program. Everybody gets options.

Cons

New policies are being implemented which are no longer employee friendly. There was a new policy implemented recently that says that employees who haven't completed a full year at the time of the December/May review have to wait for the next cycle. For some people who just missed the review cycle because of their start date, they have to wait a full one and a half year for an increment. 401k match is not good Health insurance is expensive compared to other companies No cash bonus, get stocks instead which take forever to vest Have to commute to city, no reimbursement for commute
