Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. We’d like to address the points you raised and clarify how we operate:
communication & emotional intelligence by mentors
We utilize a buddy system to support new hires. However, the buddy is not necessarily a direct manager, which may have led to misunderstandings. We continue to refine our mentorship approach to ensure clear communication and guidance.
onboarding & mentorship
Our structured onboarding program includes a buddy system for consistent support and guidance. We are continuously improving this process so that newcomers feel welcomed and assisted even beyond the official onboarding phase.
Our onboarding is based on a structured introduction, which then evolves to practical and real tasks and we strongly believe that the best way to learn is by doing. All team members are approachable to offer aid and guidance given, but we expect a certain degree of proactivity to understand where exactly people have difficulties and support effectively.
remote engineering team members in scrum meetings
We acknowledge that not all remote colleagues have been able to join certain daily or weekly meetings, however our values won't allow us to deny rights to meeting, information and ad-hoc communication. Upon request or where applicable - all remote members get involved in meetings, clarification session or one-on-one meetings.
technology stack
While we don't always manage to adopt cutting edge technologies, we strive to keep on top of latest .Net versions and adopt proven, well maintained and supported technologies and tools, like Azure Service Bus, Azure Functions, Azure PaaS services. It's technically true that some of our FE components are not on latest frameworks releases, but as far as "old" technologies go, we consider that frameworks released in late 2021 are not nearly at the end of their lifecycle.
career growth opportunities
We encourage proactive individuals to demonstrate both technical and soft skills. Many colleagues build long-term careers here, evolving from regular developers to Principal roles, transitioning between projects and stacks, and we take pride in the commitment and trust they place in us.
qualifications & inclusivity
While most of our team members hold university degrees, we do not discriminate based on educational background. We value diversity and inclusivity, believing everyone can contribute meaningfully regardless of their path. What we value most is how people think, solve problems, analyze assignments and adapt to situations.
professional growth & training
We provide training and certification opportunities for those interested in further development. We encourage proactive learning and regularly invite team members to share technical knowledge or pursue certifications. We also have an allowance of 5 working days dedicated solely to researching and learning new tech, skills tools, which can be extended based on the value of the chosen track.
burnout prevention
Recognizing the fast-paced nature of our industry, we place a strong emphasis on preventing burnout and stress. Our unique employee assistance program supports employees and their families, helping to maintain mental and emotional well-being.
monthly coffee meetings
These gatherings are designed to be informal and positive, much like a coffee break where colleagues can freely discuss new or interesting technical topics in an informal environment. We do not tolerate unprofessional or derogatory behavior and address any issues immediately, however we have not receive any reports of offensive language during recurring team meetings.
Thank you again for sharing your thoughts. We wish you all the best in your future endeavors and continued success in your career!
