San Francisco, CA

Current Employee – been working at Riverbed Technology full-time for more than 3 years

Prosyou 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

Consteething 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

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

San Francisco, CA

Former Employee – worked at Riverbed Technology full-time for more than 7 years

ProsVery smart people but without the egos. Nice people in all departments. Flexible work schedule and wasn't a sweat shop.

ConsHas anyone ever received a raise at this company? Would like more formal training rather than just on the job, sink or swim. Not much opportunity for promotion.

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

San Francisco, CA

Former Employee – worked at Riverbed Technology as an intern for less than a year

ProsHigh 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.

ConsThe only con is that I had to leave to finish school~

Advice to Senior ManagementThank you for awesome experience! I only hope my career can lead me back there at some point~
