What this means for employees
Record growth and a raised outlook are positive signals for data-center deployment, professional services and selected sales roles, particularly in the United States and United Kingdom. The results also include acquisition-driven expansion and a lower gross margin, so candidates should ask whether their team’s growth is organic, customer-funded and supported by a durable backlog.
