On 28th November, we went along to BIMA’s breakfast briefing on the Tech Trends that really matter for 2018, which saw six-minute talks from four speakers on their tech predictions for 2018 and beyond.

On October 19th, Red Badger hosted its first get-together in the new digs. Celebrated with friends, old colleagues, clients and industry-innovators, we proudly reflected on our accomplishments as a company these past 7 years. We also gained an…

Four months into my second internship with Red Badger, I’m here to give you my opinion about what it’s really like to work here. Daily life, social experiences and free holidays. There’s a lot going on at Red Badger.

Andreas recently wrote a blog post about why he decided to ask for a four-day week. What follows is a response to that post and why I think it’s important for businesses to have an open mind around the working hours of their staff.

Programming is a vast landscape, though you'd be forgiven to think otherwise. You just might've been sucked into the bubble of Ruby of Rails bonanza for the last 10 years. Or you've been busy solving the halting problem. Or maybe you've been…

We are known for throwing amazing summer parties - last year we flew everyone out to a castle in Leipzig which we all thought would be pretty hard to top - but somehow we managed it again..

After circling the block a second time, I finally stumbled across the entrance to Red Badger's new office building, camouflaged by construction workers adding finishing touches to the surrounding area (I’ll admit - I needed some help from Saadia,…

When my wife and I were expecting our second child we spoke about how we planned to balance work and family life.

This World Refugee Day we want to celebrate the wonderful contribution of refugees to Red Badger.  As a London-based tech consultancy we feel and know their benefits more than most; from the people in our company who hail from over 24 countries and…

Here at Red Badger we’ve been thinking about how we can deliver more social value as a company. And one of the simplest ways was payroll giving, aka Give As You Earn.

For the last couple of weeks, Graham, Marcel, Sinem and I have been experimenting with Amazon’s Alexa Echo Dot. An Electric Hockey Puck that uses voice recognition powered by Amazon Alexa voice assistant. In this blog I’d like to explain how one…

Karma Tracker is an internal project at Red Badger, implemented in Clojure, that tracks contributions to OpenSource projects by the members of an organisation. It allows us to keep track of Red Badger's contributions to the OpenSource world. What…

Getting Around

Getting around London is very easy. The London Underground (Tube) is super quick and the buses come every 2-3 minutes. Although, the best way to see everything will be to walk - the tube map can be deceiving - everything is a lot…

Everybody was very focused during this 2 day seminar. Veerryy Fooccussedd… And I'm sorry to disappoint, but they were not teaching us to program JavaScript, Closure or Elixir. This was about a different sort of programming altogether.

Last month all the Badgers plus a whole heap of our friends and partners headed off to Leipzig to spend the weekend in a castle. Red Badger is quite well known for throwing pretty fantastic parties (last year we took everyone to a private island)…

Living in the technical community in Shoreditch, I’m overexposed to web geekery in comparison to those who don’t work in tech but because I don’t code for a living, much of it still passes me by. The questionable grammar – “internet all the things”,…

The benefits of creative activities have been the focus of several studies over the years proving that engaging in creative activities has multiple benefits to our mental health and physical wellbeing. When these activities take place within a…

It’s National Badger Week. I thought I’d take this time to talk a little bit about our namesake, and the qualities that we share (and some that we don’t).

We have a £2,000 annual training budget at Red Badger that can be used however we like. Most people use it to travel to attend a conference in the US, Asia-Pacific or somewhere equally exciting. Training is really specific to your job role and…
