Thread regarding Riverbed Technology Inc. layoffs

What’s up Aternity!

Seems like these folks are very quiet. I’ve seen some departures over the past year but not sure what the context is. Aternity folks, is your world rosy like Riverbed’s?

I saw something on LI blog about some chart. If it’s that then it had a whopping 4 likes. Either way, without auto-remediation, it’s just a chart.

They just released a new product feature that according to their CEO is a game changer. Anyone know if this is real or myth?

Word is TB doesn't value engineers or want to pay them or have many people who know how to evaluate them anyway. So how many "higher skilled and priced" engineers are still at Riverbed? or aternity? They probably can't help these management bloated sinking ships anyway.

If you lack technical skills it can be a good place to build your resume. Lots of new hires with marketing and other soft skills. The basic product is easy to get running vs. Riverbeds portfolio that still requires higher skilled and priced engineers.

Following the same TB play book that RIverbed has been. Nothing to see here.

Needs to be sold or brought back to Riverbed. Slow business like before Riverbed acquired it.

I hadn't looked since I left, but I noticed a few 'big name' SEs showed up on LinkedIn with new jobs recently. Was the "masse exodus of skilled staff" mostly in field-tech or all over?

Other than the masse exodus of skilled staff? Don’t worry though, our CEO is the smartest, wisest, most experienced sales leader (lol!) on the planet! Nobody knows as much as him. Thank god for the 42 point IBM sales training he did in 1817

@tif+1aPfZ5XU, sounds exactly like Riverbed. Ge-z, I wonder why.

That’s too bad. I was hoping for the best over there at Aternity.

Top managers present grandiose plans. One man does work of three. Too many talkers, too underpowered workforce.
