Recent research published by the World Economic Forum shows that, within the UK, only 20% of the student body for computer sciences, engineering and technology courses, is women. This International Women’s Day, we’re raising awareness around this important issue, as well as celebrating the amazing women we have in our team! Happy International Women’s Day!
Proud day for Garrison as we are named the winners of the Best European Cybersecurity Company and Most Innovative European Cybersecurity Company, and the silver award for Best European Cybersecurity Startup!

I have been working at Garrison Technology full-time (More than a year)
Pros
- Flexible working hours
- Great social aspect (work events at least once every two to three weeks)
- Management are friendly, approachable and great mentors
- Deep tech stack, plenty of roles and job rotation if requested
- Fascinating IP and range of products to work on
- Mixed seating plan so you're not constrained to working / sitting with your team
- Encourage training and personal development
Cons
- Fairly flat structure, a "Software Engineer" is only two steps away from Head of Engineering. Could be in a role for a while before any chance of a promotion. Mainly due to start-up nature. Your role within your team and your project work increases with difficulty and responsibility as you progress - creating a sense of seniority within your team, but not throughout the company
Application
I applied through a recruiter. The process took a week. I interviewed at Garrison Technology (London, England) in February 2020.
Interview
I got the interview through a recruiter, which accelerated the process. The interview process lasted a week. It involved a phone interview, which was fairly conversational, where I was asked what I knew about Garrison's product, as well as a little bit about my past relevant experience, and my motivations for the role. The next step was a two to one in-person interview at the Garrison offices, which was fairly relaxed and mostly focused on getting to understand me and my motivations. We went through my CV in quite a lot of detail and there were a few technical networking questions. Final interview was another two to one interview, more technical this time, which involved more technical networking questions, and was focussed on understanding my ability to solve problems and present information clearly.
