Redgate Software reviews

Redgate has a great culture, solid products and a really strong market presence. The products are technical but the customers we work with are usually big fans and work well with us. I have left Redgate multiple times to go to other great companies for want of a change...none have compared, none have come close. We work hard, but RG respects the boundaries and importance of home life, managers actively encourage mental wellbeing and genuinely care so we don't work crazy hours. Getting the correct fit is important for Redgate, this could almost be called a con, but the reality is that it helps protect and nurture a non-toxic environment which is hugely important. We aren't perfect and sometimes those types break through the guard rails, but they rarely last in role no matter how good they may be in the role. Covid has really hit home how great this place is, the support and reassurance, the lack of redundancies and the confidence we would make it through without issues has been exceptional. Being able to tell me, team, not to worry about needing to cover childcare, head off to the Dr's at the drop of a hat, look after themselves as required has been amazing. Also being privately owned, we had no concerns with being furloughed to protect investors' bottom lines or shareholders. This place isn't for everyone, I can accept that, but I can honestly say in the 10yrs on and off I have worked here from being in the starting sales roles to being a manager, nothing comes close to trying to be the best place to work, and I haven't had a single day in those 10yrs where I haven't wanted to come to work. Even when I have left it has been with support and in a positive way.

Everyone is really friendly and it's rare you'll ever meet someone you don't get along with. Lots of chance for personal development. 4 hours on a Friday afternoon to work on your own thing. Adapted well to remote working, but the process of getting new equipment remotely is a hassle and you have to have a good valid reason why you need something. Getting a standing desk is unlikely unless you have pain or are disabled which is fair enough given how many people request one. Team sizes are small so you can get to know some people really well and start to feel like a family. Lots of benefits from health insurance, life insurance, pension matching and sabbatical for those that decide to give 5 years of their life. Profit share. Work is quite relaxed which is both good and bad as it gets quite boring if no progress is made. Opportunity to reteam once a year.
