A Great Place to Work

I have had quite a few employers in my career. Of the ones that paid me for computer work, I'll say that there were 3 great ones (1 I owned), 2 average ones, and 3 poor ones. I've had a few other minor times or contract situations where I didn't really judge or care one way or the other. A lot of time is spent at work, but if it's days/week/(few months), I can deal with most situations. That being said, even at the poor places, I learned a lot and I grew, so I don't regret them or wouldn't want them removed from my past. There are always good and bad things about any job. As I tell my kids, every job is a job some days, even my amazing position at Redgate. Recently my employer, Redgate Software, was on a number of Best Places to Work lists in the US. We took 28th in the US (5th in Austin, 4th in LA, 10th in NY) with higher rankings when you filtered to mid-sized businesses. While I don't work in those places, I do go to our offices, and I think we have an amazing culture, workplace environment, support, and training for staff. We're a mid-sized company now with a bit over 500 people, which is amazing. I was person 146, but I've known the company since it was 8 people. As it's grown, I think Redgate has done a great job under Simon Galbraith's leadership of building a place to work that is productive and profitable, but enjoyable and interesting. Our current CEO, Jakub Lamik, has continued to help Redgate thrive, both as a business and an employer. Read the rest of A Great Place to Work
