Pros

Nice colleagues, excellent secondary benefits, good location.

Cons

MD is spineless. Only cares about tech, not about company culture and morale. Same goes for the executive board. Absolutely useless and only interested in their own status. C-level gets away with everything. HR is a joke. In case of conflict the more senior position will always prevail. If you speak up you end up tarnished.

We are very sorry to hear that you had a negative working experience with us. Our organisational values are focused on our people, and we have launched several initiatives over the past few years to celebrate our diverse company culture. This includes leadership development, but also training of our staff on acceptable behaviour and an organisation-wide code of conduct. Even though 95% of our staff reported having a good working relationship with their manager in our last employee survey, we appreciate that conflict can arise in the workplace. Therefore, in 2023, we brought in different mechanisms to cater for constructive resolution of such incidents, and we continue to promote a culture where staff feel safe to speak up and share their opinions. We acknowledge that there’s always room for improvement, and we work relentlessly to make sure that we are inclusive and caring to our employees. You may not be working with us anymore, but if you would like to discuss any of these topics further, feel free to send us an email to personnel@ripe.net.

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.
