Zamestnanecké výhody, benefity:

We’ve already mentioned that you’ll have the opportunity to grow professionally and work in an interesting domain.

However, we also place emphasis on other things.

We spend around 2,000 hours a year at work, which is a significant part of our lives. That’s why employee engagement, a positive work atmosphere, and good interpersonal relationships are very important to us. When you join us, you can expect the following:

We care about getting along on a human level

• we carefully select colleagues so they feel comfortable with us

• we meet at teambuilding events, go hiking, and celebrate together

We support democratic functioning and participation in management in the following ways

• we connect management and employees through regular meetings where anyone can bring up any topic

• clearly defined management principles support our democratic approach

We emphasize transparency and open communication

• we regularly and openly discuss what’s happening in the company (where we’re doing well, where we need to improve, and what lies ahead—so everyone knows how the company is performing)

The values we’ve defined are reflected in our working conditions, for example:

• if you want up to 10 days of vacation, you don’t need approval—we trust you to assess it in the context of your responsibilities

• we focus more on results than attendance (we have no problem with home office if you prove yourself; if you prefer office work, you’ll enjoy the view of Bratislava from the 17th floor)
