"What I love about Red Gate are my colleagues; bright, intelligent people who I enjoy working with. There’s a good atmosphere where we all genuinely want to create great software. It is rare to find a company full of other developers and testers that you’d trust to work on code you’ve written, without them screwing it up! As web developers we’re quick to pick up new technology, like ASP.NET MVC." Matt Lee, Web Developer
