Hear from our employees about what it's like working at Wind River.
Our sales teams come to work every day with passion and a desire for greatness. We’re the trusted advisors who help leading companies power the safest, most secure and reliable devices in the world. We’re not selling a one-size-fits-all solution. We approach every customer as a unique relationship and provide custom offerings that meet their specific business needs. We thrive on trust, transparency, and teamwork, and we won’t settle for anything less than excellence.
“I began my career with Wind River as a Sales Development Rep, and with the coaching and leadership invested in my growth, I have been privileged to work my way up to the role of Territory Account Manager.
I am often spotted around the office accompanied by Gabe, my diabetic alert dog!”
“I enjoy most the trust I feel from the company in my ability to do my job and the opportunity to speak with anybody internally to share ideas.”
“Innovative and Family are not buzzwords at Wind River. They are integral components to the Wind Way that guide the diversity and success of my organization. Every employee is valued beyond the work contribution. The company provides time for parents to volunteer at schools, and for employees to take volunteer days within non-profit organizations of their choice. The landscape of interpersonal communication is rich at Wind River. We share our life experiences to enhance togetherness. My team comes from many backgrounds and walks of life. In sharing, we build strong bonds of caring. This is how we are moving beyond success into excellence. The team is collaborative and deeply committed to solving challenges with a growth mindset.”
“I like the collaboration between business unit, executive staff, and field sales leadership on behalf of our customers' needs. Everyone at every level at Wind River is anxious to resolve issues. And at Wind River, I have been able to create a new line of business and sales organization with our flagship virtualization product, which has now been recognized as best-in-class.”
We are fanatically focused on enabling customers to maximize their competitive advantage in building smart, innovative systems. We leverage unique skills, expertise, and processes to unlock the full potential of Wind River products and deliver tailored solutions that form the foundation of customer systems.

Daily basketball games with my crazy colleagues and being able to volunteer at my kids' school make it a special place to work.”
“My coolest project was a bespoke radio communication platform for emergency services and police. It was technically challenging, with a lot of emphasis on encryption, security, and stability, but also rewarding knowing what it was going to be used for.”

We create an environment for people to learn, experiment, and solve complex challenges for our customers. Our globally distributed, highly experienced software development team is passionate about safety, security, and reliability, while leveraging the latest technology and agile development processes to advance our innovation in edge-to-cloud software.

I’m in a position to influence product roadmaps, advise and lead development teams, and personally contribute to technologies that end up in space, or that make flying and driving safer. What more can an engineer ask for?”

The melting pot here is everything, very vivid and vibrant. Sometimes it feels like a sitcom with so many different characters. You do not want to miss an episode!”
“People! Wind River has a very friendly and open culture. Everybody is accessible and willing to help. We have a very engaged team divided between Costa Rica, the U.S., Canada, and Japan, and that makes our work much more interesting. We’ve become very close.”
“Respect, communication, and teamwork are key for our Accounts Receivable team. We are all in different locations and time zones, speak different languages, and come from different cultures, but there is no difference between any of us. We are all one team, with the same targets and goals, always open to sharing new ideas to improve our service.”
We are focused on partnering with our managers and employees to create an environment that enables our employees to bring their best and whole selves to their jobs. When they win, we win.
“The coolest project I have worked on is the Wind Way, our culture revamp. Talking to employees and helping implement changes to refresh our culture has been eye opening. It is rewarding to see how open and receptive employees have been to these changes.”
