Pros
A one of a kind, "people & family first" remarkable culture & company. Joining HAProxy Technologies was not a sudden change for me. For seven years before stepping into this role, I served as an advisor to the company. This gave me a front-row seat to the HAProxy culture, and to CEO Dujko Radovnikovic’s leadership style and vision. The culture is defined by deep technical know-how, genuine collaboration, and strong loyalty. And some of Dujko’s team members have been with him since his first company back in 2001,. That kind of shared, long-term commitment speaks volumes about his character and the positive environment at HAProxy Technologies. This spirit runs through the whole organization, from the open source HAProxy project to the engineers working on enterprise products. The team here is packed with talent - absolutely one of the most remarkable engineering teams I've ever seen, passion, and a shared drive for excellence. They're active in multiple open source communities, always learning and contributing. I knew this was a place where I’d be constantly challenged, stretched, and inspired – the kind of place where I thrive.
Cons
I can't think of many. It is definitely not for the faint of heart - the team is brilliant, the technology is very complex, the discussions are super deep.
