Great place to work - Recensione dipendente - Research Engineer presso Semmle

- Has an actually exciting and compelling product that solves some real-world problems. - Company is filled with especially smart people, it's difficult not to learn at an incredible rate working there. - Extremely technical company. - The company culture is very respectful, and there is very little ego present, throughout the company. It's easy to speak to anyone from any team about any work (regardless of discipline)

- Due to the size of the company, it is often the case that it feels like there is too much work that each individual has on their plate.

Some of the brightest and best software developers you're ever likely to work with work at Semmle. It's a meritocracy: if you're keen and smart you'll have a chance to significantly influence the products. Everyone just gets on with each other. There are no petty office politics. The work is always interesting and I always have a large Jira backlog so I know I'm never going to be stuck for things to do. The working environment is excellent. We're right in the middle of Oxford in a beautiful, spacious office. We're never hampered by not having adequate software or hardware to work with, which can be so annoying at some companies. Free snacks and drinks. Great coffee!

I'm struggling to think of some - really! Sometimes the air con is set ridiculously high and I have to work with 2 jumpers on to stay warm when it's lovely and warm outside. Semmle aren't the highest payers around: you could earn more money elsewhere, but you probably wouldn't enjoy coming to work so much.
