Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback. We are happy to hear you would recommend working at the RIPE NCC. We also appreciate your feedback about management, leadership, and growth opportunities within our organisation. We are working on a Leadership programme which is focused on the development of our leadership roles. Also, by bringing more clarity on who is accountable for what in which role, we will able to overcome problems of the past. Based on the surveys we conducted regarding organisational changes and culture programmes, we already see a positive development towards the desired company culture. Many factors come into play by organisational/culture changes so it can take a while to reach the desired stage as a company. We are happy to discuss any other feedback you may have, please e-mail us at openings@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.
