Aliona Petsevich, Business Developer

“ I spend 3 wonerful years at Evojam— full of self-development opportunities, team growth, knowledge sharing, new acquaintances, struggles, and occasional tears.

I remember the first day I came — just for a talk, not having any hopes for getting a job, having my luggage in one hand and my boyfriend in the other :)

First impressions after a coffee talk in the office were amazing — the kitchen, coffee, cake, snow falling in the garden. The atmosphere that you fall in love with. The atmosphere that you truly want to come back to.

And, what was the most important, no empty promises on their side! They just gave me a close look and considered our cooperation.

But something must have happened that winter day because I’m here!

I love my colleagues, their support, and their courage.

Extra attention should be paid to corporate parties! This is the best time in the office — with colleagues from all over the world! The memories of the crowded space and noisy atmosphere of these days warm my heart even when I have plenty of work to do️.

Evojam gives freedom. It doesn’t matter in which department you work, you are always free to engage in other, sometimes “extracurricular,” activities. Your ideas are precious, and there’s always someone to promote them. You’re constantly inspired to pick up new skills, meet new people, and open the horizons that were unknown to you before. 

 And there’s a bonus — a lot of cool branded merchandise and tasty healthy snacks :)”

Magdalena Welik, Backend Developer

“The first time I heard about Evojam was right before a job fair at the Warsaw University of Technology. I felt that it might be a perfect match for me from the very beginning. At the job fair, I met Ula, who was just like a reflection of Evojam's spirit. The recruitment process itself was very clear, and I was getting feedback at every stage.

Despite starting as an intern, I was given regular tasks and I was treated as an equal team member from day one. In the course of time, I was given more challenges and responsibilities.

I’m working with amazing, supportive people, who I can always count on. Thanks to them, I can pick up both technical and non-technical skills. Evojam's motto is “keep growing,” and they truly encourage me to grow. I have the opportunity to develop and practice the skills of my choice. There’s also a clear bullet-point career path, which I’m personally a fan of :)”

Artur Bankowski, Head of Delivery

“When I start cooperating with Evojam as a Backend Engineer, the company was only about 5 people in total. Before we even considered permanent cooperation, I did some work to support an ongoing project. I got recommended by the CTO, with whom I previously worked. Meeting my former colleagues and having a chance to collaborate with them again made me feel at home.

Somewhere along the way, I became a software architect. When our CTO left the company, I ended up in charge of Evojam’s technological needs and eventually was named Head of Development.

I’ve always liked Evojam and the people that work or cooperate here. We have multiple common values that influence both our private and professional decisions on a daily basis. Even though we’ve had better and worse times together, I can always be sure that we share the same principles.

When I finally improved my communication skills, I realised that I could have a big influence on the company from the very beginning. The potential hidden in each of us has always been the biggest value. Now I see that we are so much better at helping each other to make use of our talents and stimulate growth.

Evojam is the organisation where I feel free speaking up, taking actions and experimenting — I’m not afraid to make mistakes.

I cooperate with Evojam because I feel I can still help the company and other technical people. I constantly look for new areas of development, and opportunities here are limitless — your role is not carved in stone. I have an influence on our goal, work and relations and I can empower others to participate too.”

Marek Grochala, CEO

“Before I joined Evojam, I had worked for other companies for 11 years. Feeling like a hipster now because I joined Evojam before it was actually named Evojam or became an established company. I recruited myself and my cofounder to push this idea in late 2012, and the third co-founder followed us in late 2013.

Our recruitment process was quite smooth since we had known each other for many years, but the onboarding process took us some time ;) I remember these crazy times when we were getting first clients and other team members. I also remember the frustration when things didn’t go as planned, the team morale was bad, or we repeated the same mistakes — which I personally don’t like the most.

But we always knew we wanted to create a great place to work. A place where people can grow as a team and as individuals — that’s the “Evo” part of Evojam — and where clients can get a variety of benefits from building their products with us. Since we didn’t feel good about corporate-style organizations, we decided to stay small and do things differently on so many levels — sometimes improvising. And that's the “jam” part of Evojam.

I consider Evojam to be a people-focused company. The people we work with are at the heart of the decisions we make and the way we shape our organization — whether they are employees or work with us on a B2B basis. This is reflected in many of our initiatives, from feedback and development opportunities to transparency, knowledge sharing, and the choice of clients and projects we work on.

I must admit it is a pleasure to observe team members growing and outgrowing us. I realized I sometimes prefer to stay aside not to disturb brilliant people at work. I noticed that offering continuous learning and development opportunities is important, but bringing in fresh blood has also resulted in a positive change.

I must say I have met so many great teammates along the way, more than anywhere else — and that’s one of the reasons I have been working for Evojam longer than for any other company before. The other reason is that people here still laugh at my jokes! ;)”

Weronika Lapinska, HR Specialist

“When I started looking for a new job, I was already sure that I did not want to find “just” another job. I was looking for a place where I could develop my skills and myself, contribute to the whole team and be directly responsible for the whole company. Having fun while doing all the things mentioned wouldn’t hurt either — actually, I considered it quite a crucial perk. 

Having reviewed many job offers, I finally found the one posted by Evojam. I saw they were looking for a person who is ready for an adventure and I thought, “Okay, you have my curiosity”. Then I saw that Evojam understands HR as Human Relations, not just Human Resources, and I thought, “Now you have my attention!” ;) It was important for me, as a people person, to find a place with such values.

The job interview was far from being typical. It was a meeting with people smiling almost all the time, and these people immediately became “my people”. Evojam pays a lot of attention not only to the professional background but also to the candidate as a whole. That’s the Evojam’s secret sauce.

Finally, I feel that I am in the right place — where my work is not just work but my passion. From the very beginning, I have received a lot of support from the whole team. They welcomed me as if I had been working with them for a very long time. My other HR half — Ula, supports me in every possible way to help me keep growing. At Evojam, you can create many wonderful things while having fun with the same people you’d have fun with in your free time. When I mention my job to my friends, they always say that they see how much happiness it brings me and how much I am contributing to the company's progress. They can’t even believe that such a place exists. Well, it does. It is called Evojam — a company where every single person is a different piece of the puzzle, which one put together makes the whole picture.“
