RIVERBED TECHNOLOGY, INC. 
By SAN FRANCISCO, CA, Apr 27, 2012 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) --Riverbed Technology (NASDAQ: RVBD), the performance company, today announced that it has been recognized by the San Francisco Business Times, Silicon Valley/San Jose Business Journal and its employees as one of the Best Places to Work in the San Francisco Bay Area for the third consecutive year. Riverbed(R) received this acknowledgement based upon the company's corporate philosophy, management best practices, benefits and overall compensation.
The Best Places to Work awards recognize the top 125 employers in five categories based on company size. The large company category, where Riverbed received its designation, is defined as organizations with 501-1,500 employees based in the San Francisco Bay Area. The assessment and resulting rankings of employers were based on a multiple choice survey taken by employees that provided feedback in categories that include employee engagement, communication strategies, management effectiveness, trust in leadership, compensation and benefits, and training and recognition, which were then tabulated by research firm Quantum Workplace.
Riverbed Extends Commitment to Stay in San Francisco for the Next Decade Riverbed CEO Jerry Kennelly recently announced a new 10 year lease at 680 Folsom Street that will keep the company's worldwide headquarters in San Francisco until 2024. This is based on Kennelly's belief that the best location to continue attracting the best talent and provide a thriving environment for current employees is San Francisco.
"Our employees appreciate the fact that despite all our success and having grown to more than 1,600 global employees, we still operate like a start-up with a flat management structure where innovative ideas are encouraged, valued and respected," said Riverbed CEO Jerry Kennelly. "We're proud to have our headquarters in San Francisco where our employees can collaborate in a thriving environment. With a strong focus on technology innovation, San Francisco is becoming the capital of Silicon Valley and we are proud that Riverbed is one of the success stories. We'll continue to hire the best and brightest minds to drive technology innovation in the Bay Area."
