Marta ziemińska, senior project manager

“I've been at Evojam since 2022, working as a project manager. It's the kind of place where the job grows with you rather than staying fixed, and that has shaped how I work here.

Flexibility is a good example of that. I've found that I'm interested in the design side of things, not building screens in Figma, more about good practices: reviewing, consulting, weighing in on decisions. I've also moved towards product ownership. Both are areas I'm curious about, and on most projects there's space for them. If I wanted to stay in a more traditional PM role, that would be just as fine. Our roles are getting broader anyway, partly because of AI, and I like having room to decide which direction that goes for me.
That's possible because trust is the default here. It isn't something you spend a year earning: people who join get it straight away. The assumption is that you can handle what you've taken on and that you'll ask when you need help. Nobody is checking over your shoulder. It also means you get a chance at things you haven't done before, which is how most of what I've learned here happened.

The other thing worth mentioning is the feedback culture. People here tell each other when something went well, and they also tell you what could be better. It goes in both directions and everyone is open to hearing it. Plenty of companies say they work like this. Fewer actually do.
Put together, it's a place where I can keep getting better at the parts of the job I care about.”

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. It shows in how we give feedback, how open we are about what’s going on, how we share knowledge and which clients and projects we take 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! ;)”
