Riverbed is an Amazing place to work
Cons
None that I can think off
- Former Employee, more than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
Very good working environment, team collaboration is evident and ELT transparency is at par.

Although currently on the works but probably ramp up more on Branding.
- Former Employee, more than 10 years★★★★★
Good jobs while a failing company lasts
Jan 27, 2023 - Technical DirectorRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
Generous benefits, understanding of work/life balance, pleasant people to work with. Lots of internal opportunities for people who push and find them. Better shot at getting a title and good experience above your normal level than at somewhere healthy. Management has strongly resisted layoffs. If you're good at enforcing boundaries and don't mind chaos, this can be a solid paycheck and safe harbor for another couple years.
Cons
The company is dying, full stop. Management is confused and feckless, and missed its window of opportunity to turn the ship around. The 2021 bankruptcy was the beginning of the end, and the company is now focused on squeezing the last drops out of existing customers and aged product suite, largely because the engineering organization proved incapable of modernizing. The politics are ridiculous, lots of roles are empty, tons of institutional knowledge is simply gone. Many people are burning out and leaving with nothing lined up. Bottom line: This is NOT a company for people who care about having control over their fates, who need to feel like they're on a winning team, or who need to point to big successes to further their careers. Riverbed can probably coast for quite a while, but the next big shock will sink the ship.

You won't be selling the products that made them popular, Riverbed is Aeternity
Nov 26, 2022 - SalesRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
Managers are generally not toxic, company will hire you if you're desperate/have no other options, 3-4 months non recoverable draw
Cons
1. The company touts 99% placement in the F100 and 95% placement in the F500. They forgot to mention that these are Steelheads/WanOp which no one needs anymore, which lead to Riverbed's bankruptcy 2. Company is pushing their observability platform they acquired, Aeternity, which is a tiny company entering late in an already crowded marketplace 3. Zero BDR/inside sales 4. Zero marketing or brand recognition 5. Zero leads in general 6. Zero partners pushing product 7. Massive turnover at all levels of the org 8. Majority of reps are at 20% or less to quota In short, you're working for Aeternity, a tiny company...not Riverbed.
- Former Employee, more than 8 years★★★★★
Pros
Pay/Benefits not bad Great coworkers Lots of Opportunity
Cons
Horrible Executive Leadership Lack of Direction Doesn't listen to its employees or customers
