It seems that the most key bit of information has been missing for quite some time and so I shall share. For the past 5 years, the executive team (SVP+) were given an offer they couldn't refuse. A long-term incentive plan that paid guaranteed... — read more 

Is a joke. Just like it’s “author” and its architect. Mountford has rested in his Cisco laurels forever. Bringing in Cisco cronies who are nothing but minions. As though they were he best of the best. He has been over his skis since day one and... — read more 

Any insider info on potential suitors.. One team from OPNET days seems to be getting a free ride with this re-org.

Looks like layoff going on randomly. Can you pls post your group? Which product lines are affected?

Is Aternity affected? I left in 2016 on my own. I hope they did not hit Aternity with layoffs. Good luck all.

To say that the opnet purchase is still the cause for misery is just BS. Sure it was expensive but you still have to deal with the legacy RVBD products not bringing in the gold as they used too and that it was 7 years ago. SFusion is done... — read more 

The entire office is closing. That's it. Done deal.

Just got let go. Supposed to be large.

To those who are sitting around 'waiting' for a payoff my advice is don't. I went through it many years ago while my colleagues stayed behind waiting, and waiting, and waiting, and waiting. The bitterness set in, they got no pay-rises, and they... — read more

What's going on with those 1:1s? Has anybody had theirs yet? What happened? Is there any chance it's something other than layoffs?

closing down offices in EMEA, whats next

But the real asses that need to get kicked will not. They will simply place blame elsewhere and sanctimoniously thank themselves for all their past “brilliance”. Please. PM AE DS are clowns

Just seeing if there are any rumors of layoffs or org consolidation coming up. Figure the summer is a good as any to trim the fat.

Thoughts? Q2 end coincidence? What does it all mean?

What has our figure been per quarter? How far from target are we?

Any thoughts on how Q2 will end up, particularly with SKO at the end of it?

Whomever said doubt they’ll bin SCON, I think you need a reality check. It will end up on maintenance releases only I expect. As other poster said RVBD spent 3+ years developing something that is probably mediocre at best. And still can’t/won’t scale... — read more 

Doesn't look good for SCON engineers. What are your thoughts?

Finish the sentence...

Are we being bought out or acquiring another company? Will we be let know at SKO?

How in the world did you come to that conclusion? Please explain.

We know whatever turns out to be our future - cuts will be brutal. While it's tempting to stay and wait for a possible severance, I think leaving now is a safer option - mainly because when there are too many employees with similar skills and... — read more 

Thinking about leaving. Anyone mind sharing the current price of class B ? and class A? How soon can I expect the check to be deposited to my bank account after leaving? Beginning of next quarter or within N days?

There’s reality and expectations - two different things that does not equate to failure. Bankruptcy is just not the correct assessment, not even close in this case. Bottom line is, Riverbed isn’t the healthiest company but it’s not dying in the vine... — read more 

Any more layoff talk/rumors? Sales says their SKO is ON for mid-June?

For those who stayed awake during last week CIBU All-hands, you noticed DM's not-so-subtle hint that xirrus is going away. It's not big secret that PM is not a fan of that acquisition and he is probably found a willing buyer at this point. All 8... — read more 

Riverbed should have fully supported their storage products—especially whitewater/steelstore. Instead they tolerated excuses from sales for not selling. Sales always holds tremendous power in a company, but are also short sighted since their job is... — read more 

I know several people who've had a knee-jerk reaction to everything that's been going on and left on their own, and now they're regretting their decisions and wanting to return if possible. It might feel like anything is better than this place right... — read more 

Hey PM, You can’t possibly imagine how twisted this award system is. No one can rethink possible with c-ap, rigid and sh--ty upper leadership. Clearly from past awards you can notice the trends but I guess as a hands off CEO, you don’t.l notice this... — read more

Wasn’t this the tag line of Ci$co Marketing around 5 years ago?

Did they take down the post from that slightly crazy colleague of ours last night? While a bit far fetched, I’m surprised this site would selectively censor posts.

I don’t know how SlopNet people somehow manage to screw up Riverbed. We knew it was a bad acquisition that caused the division among the riverbed originals. We know the old Opnet leaders were total sleeve balls that ran the company through fear... — read more 

Rob R out and they reinstated 100% of our BCR as opposed to 50%. Seems like there may be a little birdie watching these posts. I believe that TB is done with us, scary to think what changes are coming in the next few months. If RB does pull the... — read more
