We believe that Red Gate offers the best
graduate careers for anyone not wanting to be
a diving instructor in the Maldives. We're in
The Sunday Times Top 100 Small Companies
for the fifth year running. In fact, there's no
higher ranked small company in Cambridge.
Our software has won lots of awards and is
used by over 500,000 customers globally.
We're successful, growing steadily and
renowned as a great place to work.
Joining Red Gate as a graduate
When you join Red Gate you'll be doing a
real job from day one. We don't have long
graduate induction or rotation schemes. We
usually have vacancies for technical graduates
in software development, software testing,
user experience, IT and product support, and
also for humanities graduates in marketing
and technical communications. We often
have software and marketing internships in
the summer.
We offer an excellent financial and benefits
package including a £2,000 signing bonus,
stock options, companywide bonuses, a
generous pension, 25 days holiday, a 6 week
paid sabbatical every 5 years, life assurance,
income protection cover, critical illness cover,
BUPA health and travel, free social events,
free office based massages, office based
haircutting (really), local gym discounts and
local travel discounts. Because we don't have
a dress code (and we give away free t-shirts
and hoodies) you won't spend every morning
ironing shirt collars. Oh, and there's free
breakfast and lunch every day (the food is
brilliant).
Working at Red Gate
Our culture is relaxed, informal and fun.
We avoid office politics and red tape and
believe in open discussions and the free flow
of ideas. Whatever part of the company you
work in you'll be part of a small team with
the freedom and flexibility to try new things.
Every few months we have a “Down Tools
Week” where you can work on whatever
you want, with whoever you want, for a
whole week. We offer an awesome working
environment with all the tools and technology
you'll need to make your mark.
We'll challenge you and invest in your
personal and professional development.
Depending on your role, you could attend
international trade shows or conferences.
You'll work with amazing people who are
experts at what they do; you'll learn from
them and they'll learn from you. Because
we're a growing and successful company, the
sky's the limit for your career development.
Simplicity
Red Gate's philosophy is all about ‘simple'.
We make ingeniously simple tools that are
simple to use and simple to buy. Simplicity
extends to our recruitment process too. There
are no application forms or assessment centres
here. We just need your CV and a covering
letter. You'll interview with people doing the
same job as you – ask them anything you
like! For now, head to our website to find out
more about life at Red Gate.
