Riverbed Technology Response

Riverbed prides itself in strategic thinking and long term goals. This is how we have flourishes as a company for 17+ years. Our Sales processes have been revamped by our CEO who was out former CSO and our new CSO. We have new products coming on the market which gives us the opportunity to sell not just one legacy product, but a suite of Digital Solutions. We hired a Customer Success Officer (former Salesforce exec) to ensure our Customers and Partners are happy, and are focused on being a leader in the industry. In our most recent employee satisfaction survey, employees expressed their satisfaction working here, praising us for our work-life balance, and collaborative culture.

Pros

It was good before privatization!

Cons

All is lost now. Almost all the wonderful people quit after it became private. Almost everyone in the company are now new hires. Riverbed used to be know for its people, now its a mess. No stocks/options. The work is terrible. Managers and upper management could not care less. Managers do not have an even little technical knowledge. Talking to them is like talking to HR. Hard workers are not rewarded nor heard. People are least motivated. They have lost market share and competitors are doing much better. The list goes on.

Pros

Managers are so preoccupied with their own job searches, it's easy to just slack off most days.

Cons

IT Department is being run by a suckup left by a CIO that used to rap at her staff meetings. Yes, she would rap and lead staff in some motivational song she enjoyed torturing everyone with. She hired all her buddies from that company (Taos) and then contracted out over a million dollars in IT project work to her best friend. Yeah, that's the type of company Riverbed is now. Everybody is just there to make money for themselves and their friends. Run away if you get asked to interview at this shell of a company!!!
