"I have been working at NETGEAR for over 10 years, and as a company it still surprises me. I still learn something new every day and relish being part of such a fast-paced, inspiring environment. Our passion for connecting people knows no bounds, making for an exciting and dynamic workplace. I feel privileged to be a part of the working culture at NETGEAR. It’s a culture based on teamwork and joint ventures, in which employees across all regions strive to help one another in order to achieve common company goals. I am extremely lucky to have a job that I enjoy – it makes getting up and coming to work very fulfilling."
"At NETGEAR, the dynamic and innovative working environment and talented and very helpful people provide me with an invaluable experience on my way toward my professional qualification. NETGEAR takes care of its employees and provides many opportunities to support its employees to widely develop their career life. I love NETGEAR and am proud to be a part of it."
"NETGEAR employees are truly passionate about their work and our products. I really enjoy the great spirit and working atmosphere with my colleagues in our local office! For sure, NETGEAR is not a 10.000 employees company, but that is what makes the difference. Flat management structures, knowing each other up to the highest management levels helps so much in my daily business and brings life to our products."
"Following higher education, NETGEAR proved to be an exciting platform from which I could embark in a stimulating, yet rewarding career path. My two years of service has allowed me to develop responsibility, confidence, knowledge, and above all – ability to succeed in an increasingly competitive industry. I believe the enjoyment experienced with working as part of a small, yet efficient workforce will only continue personal progression to deliver results as both an individual and as a team."
"My personal journey with NETGEAR started when I joined the graduate development program in March 2013. My whole experience has been a roller coaster of emotions, daunting at first, followed by eagerness to learn, excitement and finally, a great sense of achievement, when I was offered a full time permanent position, as Channel Account Manager UK. The great team spirit, support and encouragement from management and the overall company strategy, have helped me on my personal journey, from an uncertain university graduate, to having a full time job I love and enjoy!"
"Having worked for NETGEAR via the agencies over a number of years, I see this role as an opportunity to take a big step forward in both my career and personal development. I am confident that with the already great support of the UK team, that I can push myself to my full potential and even greater things."
At NETGEAR, we value our employees. In addition to opportunities to work on cutting-edge technologies and career growth, we offer competitive compensation and a comprehensive benefit package. Benefits will vary depending on location.
Our EMEA Headquarters is based in Cork, Ireland and our team there has recently celebrated 8 years in existence with a host of events to mark the occasion.
On July 3rd 2014, Antoinette Switzer, MD & VP HR EMEA/APAC, introduced our CEO Patrick Lo who officially launched the celebration by video link. Patrick wished the team well as everyone raised a glass (of non-alcoholic fizzy apple juice!) to toast our eight years of success. Staff received NETGEAR back packs and hoodies to mark the occasion.
On July 4th the team had an action packed day kicking off with breakfast, cupcakes and a fantastic cake with world map & flags. In keeping with our global theme, staff marked their global NETGEAR journeys on a world wall map. During the day there was a NETGEAR quiz, a raffle for delicious chocolate prizes and a special presentation to the organizers of the event.
The highlight of the day was the Team Building Event that evening in Cork City Gaol – "The Jail Break Challenge". This event was a wonderful success and the response from everyone who attended was extremely positive. We wanted to achieve cross-departmental interaction and the Jail Break Challenge succeeded in this regard. Everyone enjoyed the challenges and congratulations went to the Winning Team “Papillon”. Definitely a celebration to remember – the whole team is looking forward to the 9th and many more anniversaries!
From 29th to the 31st of July 2014, our Cork office had the pleasure of hosting the EMEA New Hire Immersion programme. The induction is held approximately every 3-4 months and throughout the programme participants are immersed in the world of NETGEAR and get lots of insight into the organisation and culture as well as all the main aspects of the business. It is also a fantastic opportunity for all new hires to meet with the people at the EMEA head office and with those that they will be dealing with on a regular basis. This time around we had a group of 12 participants from the UK, Belgium and Ireland.
The Team Building sessions added some fun as well as some socializing with the Cork team… especially the buffet meal in Penthouse Suite Clarions Hotel on the first evening where all attendees got the opportunity to mingle with their fellow inductees, learn some Irish dancing moves and play charades. The group was joined by staff of Cork office on the second evening for a relaxing BBQ evening on the boardwalk of Cork’s famous city port.
At NETGEAR, we care. We pride ourselves on coming together as a team to help our community and have fun at the same time.
NETGEAR Ice Bucket Challenge
The Ice Bucket Challenge has taken the world by storm and while it is great fun to see our friends and colleagues being doused in icy water, it serves the more serious purpose of raising much needed funds for Motor Neurone Disease (MND) and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS).
As this is a very worthy cause the NETGEAR Cork team decided to support and organised its very own NETGEAR Ice Bucket challenge to coincide with their monthly birthdays/anniversaries/new starter celebration. 9 members of the team stepped up to be ice-bucketed by their colleagues with staff donating €2 via text to the Irish Motor Neurone Disease Association in Ireland. Some staff even nominated their colleagues in the US, EMEA and Asia Pac to continue the fund-raising as well as to spread the fun and enjoyment.
The event was a great success thanks to all involved and the Cork team are proud to have contributed to this very worthy cause.
