Pros

- Had three line managers during my time here and was very well looked after by each one of them. My first line manager was patient with me while I learned (it was my first ever proper job). - There is quite a lot of onus on your personal development. You can make a personal development plan with your line manager which is basically a list of things YOU would like to do over the next few months to improve skills. You can take time off each week to spend a few hours on your personal development plan. I think the personal development stuff is implemented well at Redgate. - Free breakfast and great lunch everyday! A small portion of what the company earns is put into a "Feel good fund", which organises activities/socials throughout the year, for example, punting, beer fridays etc. - Great culture, great people. A couple of my good friends were my colleagues here, so I am grateful to have met interesting people here. - You are given an opportunity to move teams if you no longer think your work is interesting or if you want a change. This happens every 6-9 months.

Cons

- Upper management sometimes takes a decision without asking for your opinion. This is rare, I worked there for almost 3 years and it happened twice with me.

Pros

A company that treats each other reasonably and works hard to grow as a team. We value working in teams We try to be respectful, both in our collaboration and what we ask of each other Great work/life balance

Cons

Mostly a UK company, so those of us in the US are a bit removed Leadership is good, but we've had some turnover and they have work to do to grow together As we have grown over 500 people we have challenges of keeping a strong culture going. It's still there, but a little diluted in newer hires

Thank you for taking the the time to share your thoughts and we are pleased to hear your positive comments about our culture and benefits. Our technology can take a bit of time to get familiar with and our teams work hard to build training and resources to support that through onboarding, training, and help from colleagues along the way. We appreciate you sharing your experience.
