Pros

- International environment - Good salary for many positions - Very good secondary benefits - Not for profit, for the good of the Internet

Cons

- Lack of clear & adequate decision making - The NCC talks a lot about improving internal company culture, trust, values, transparency and "leadership" without walking the talk. - Overload of internal policies which should offer a clear framework. Instead these are often ignored/ overruled "upon manager's discretion" without consequences. - Timelines, deadlines, deliverables are not properly managed. Slow feedback loops. - Limited growth opportunities

Many thanks for your review, we are happy to hear you have learnt a lot as an intern. As a company, we find it important to offer learning opportunities for students. Unfortunately, we cannot always hire an intern at the end of the internship. However, when an intern makes a good impression, we will still consider hiring them once they finish with their studies and there is a relevant position advertised.

Pros

Working at RIPE NCC feels meaningful, as the organization has a clear vision of shaping the future of the internet. The work is often challenging but rewarding, providing a sense of purpose and professional growth. A good balance between technical challenges and the lack of excessive commercial pressure. Supportive and inclusive work environment with a focus on collaboration and innovation.

Cons

The organization structure changes every 2-3 years as management experiments and adjusts. While this is done with good intentions, it can feel slightly unsettling for some. Adaptability is key, as the evolving structure requires employees to stay flexible and open to change.
