Great place to work - Anonymous employee Semmle Employee Review

- 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.

I've worked with Semmle for several years now, and have seen it grow quite rapidly. As a university spin-out, the founders' background is highly academic, and this is reflected in the culture and style. There is a strong emphasis on autonomy, but there's usually someone around who can provide pointers for almost any problem we face. The expansion of the engineering team has allowed us to work on some things that have been talked about for a long time, and it's exciting seeing those plans come to fruition. There's a buzz of activity in the office that's quite infectious. Almost everyone has the opportunity to be involved with customers face-to-face, which often involves travel. That's a great perk, certainly for a while. Also, the office itself is feels like one of the greatest working spaces in central Oxford. Honestly, it couldn't be any more central. Snacks and drinks are greatly appreciated!

There always seem to be more tasks than we have time for, and sometimes priorities can change at relatively short notice. I understand that's sometimes inevitable, but I hope we can find ways to mitigate it as we grow the team.
