Top-down and consistent focus on collaboration and culture

Pros

Many opportunities to work cross-functionally in alignment with big customer and company initiatives. This is culturally the most frictionless environment I've ever worked in--the ethic of "git 'er done" is pervasive across all functions and in practically every person I've encountered. The pace is fast and the work is demanding, but the explicit focus here on employees from executive leadership is superior to all my previous employers.

Cons

Very lean, IT services-wise. IT doesn't get in the way, but some of the niceties I grew accustomed to with other employers are absent here. The focus on cloud-delivered and off-the-shelf systems could definitely benefit from some integration and systems work.

Pros

There are no pros currently. All the Pros have left the company after privatization.

Cons

Riverbed Hr/management is known to write fake reviews before. They used to send mails asking everyone to write good things about the company. It is doing it again. All the reviews you see talking all +ve stuff are fake, ask any current/former employee.

Pros

This used to be a great company until 5 years back. But now this is a company laying off/firing employees almost every month. The only pro honestly is that you might get to choose between a good thinkpad or a good macbook pro but how long will it stay with you is questionable as you might just be fired in week from getting it :)...no joke !

Cons

Almost everything is bad. HR is writing deliberate good reviews in Glassdoor to encourage investors or potential new joiners to join Riverbed. But please be very cautious about joining as this is a very unstable company as of now with no future. Ask any employees (except the HR :) as they are being paid to do so ;) ).
