Pluspunten
You get to work with people who care about the company and its mission. The product team delivers a lot of creativity to some otherwise very mature products. Office and facilities are very nice and facilitate collaboration. Work/life balance is very good and the generous PTO time works out to be much better than any “unlimited vacation” policy I’ve had. Bonus structure is very good too. Current leadership is very good and clearly has what it takes to drive consecutive quarters of above-target growth. They are laser-focused on the health of the company and have done away with many things that held us back and will invest in things that take us forward. Small size make it easy to hop aboard and, once you know the ropes make a significant impact. We’ve also seen a few veteran employees do the same and mend broken processes.
Minpunten
I give Ipswitch 5 stars based on how things currently are. 2+ years ago the company way in a much weaker place. Leadership seemed more focused on fighting political battles than actually getting business done and we suffered as a consequence. Lots of bad and ego-driven decisions were made in that period and some of those continue to hinder the company… but at this point, no more so than any older company. But at that time, we were all just punching the clock and working for the weekends. Company competes in a very mature marketplace , so it can be less exciting on that front.
