What impresses me most about this program is that is totally driven by our people, not the company, and that the amount of willing involvement is incredible and heartfelt
Helping people in need both financially and more so in time should be something that folks should actively engage in. Reach Out makes it easy for Riverbed employees to do their bit for society and every employee should try and participate as often as possible.
