Employee perks, benefits
My company supports me in improving my qualifications and knowledge through various voluntary courses and conferences. I’m working mostly remotely, with regular weekly office days in our Košice office, where I get to meet my colleagues, enjoy great coffee and drinks, chill in our relax room and, after office hours, I meet my co- workers and enjoy our teambuildings. We are a leading American company, but we don’t have to work US working hours. My colleagues can usually reach me within our regular core hours - between 9 AM and 3 PM. We are working in flexible working time mode and I’m able to manage my working time. And most importantly! My overtimes are automatically compensated on a monthly basis. In addition, let’s mention our office, a very cozy and informal space in the Košice city center.
