HAProxy Technologies reviews

Our products are genuinely great and we've achieved a clear product-market fit within the enterprise IT space. This takes a lot of the guesswork out of our go-to-market functions as we have a super well-defined ideal customer profile and the main job becomes getting a seat in the right evaluations. Our customers love us. No, really - they tell me all the time. I've lost count of how many customers have told me directly some variation of "this is the best vendor partnership we've ever had" or "we use HAProxy as an example internally of what makes a great vendor relationship." We don't take this for granted and the team works tirelessly to maintain this. Beyond the product, the people truly make HAProxy exceptional. Our engineering, technical, and product teams are world-class. They help set the bar for the whole GTM organization and have us all striving for excellence. HAProxy is private, owner-operated and fully bootstrapped. I didn't fully appreciate this element until joining, having come from the VC-backed (and ultimately PE-acquired) world. There's no external 3rd party pressuring the business to do anything that deviates from our mission. We only work for our customers and we have a product vision we're executing against (often in collaboration with our most strategic customers). This is rare and makes a huge difference culturally.

Great product market fit. There are lots of tenured employees showing loyalty and a strong culture. There is good work/life balance. There are a lot of very smart hard working employees so you need to bring your A game every day which I see as a big positive. I love working here and plan to be here for the foreseeable future.
