Current Employee – been working at Riverbed Technology full-time for more than 3 years
Pros – you are given great independence to do your own work. great amount of trust given to you.
exciting times as riverbed as they acquired several new businesses and developed new product lines in recent years. engineering competency here is strong and the new product lines are very agile. excellent social events in bay area
Cons – teething stage while riverbed is becoming a large organisation with product diversity , there is still a disconnect of knowledge with different product lines . expect frustration as they work through this

Former Employee – worked at Riverbed Technology full-time for more than 7 years
Pros – Very smart people but without the egos. Nice people in all departments. Flexible work schedule and wasn't a sweat shop.

Advice to Senior Management – Figure out a way financially compensate employees like a few years ago, when the company was growing.

Former Employee – worked at Riverbed Technology as an intern for less than a year
Pros – High level, action packed and in depth experience to business process and SOX audit fieldwork, testing and reporting.
Exposure to organizational architecture that brought academic studies into vivid life.
Arriving to work every day with a feeling of excitement because the department is passionate about their work and it is contagious.....it is easy to be excited when supporting an awesome company.
Extremely professional and knowledgeable IA team, and this cannot be over emphasized. Amazing accumulated backgrounds and each member has a slightly different perspective to share.
Each team member was very open to sharing knowledge and making the internship a career changing experience.
Above and beyond the internship was the mentorship in assisting me form future goals. This was easy when working with individuals who had inspiring careers!
Very inclusive company! Even as an intern, I felt very welcomed and a part of a TEAM.
Cons – The only con is that I had to leave to finish school~
Advice to Senior Management – Thank you for awesome experience! I only hope my career can lead me back there at some point~
