SimpliCItY and transparency

A few times per year, the delivery center managers organize meetings to present the group's strategy in order to give the employees a clear picture of the direction Pentalog is heading.

Furthermore, the Pentalog websites and blogs provide access to a wide range of information and news on the company or even to our views on specific topics regarding the IT sector. As for us, we are open and honest. This is what we call transparency.

Pentalog DELIVERY CENTERS AND THEIR organization

According to our business model, the delivery center manager is the privileged hierarchical interlocutor in the relationship with the employees, the decision-making authority as well as the person who offers sound advice and support to all employees regardless of the situation. The delivery center managers are associates of the group and they are always available to all those who would like to meet them, constructive dialogues being always encouraged.

We want our team members to know each other and interact efficiently within every delivery center. This is why Pentalog delivery centers generally have, according to the specificity of each city, between 100 and 150 employees (not including the administrative support). It is a voluntary limitation with a view to maintaining balanced interpersonal relationships within each delivery center. Beyond this number, there is a need to create additional levels between management and employees which would inevitably lead to a complex situation which is difficult to manage. Or, at Pentalog, we want things to be easy, communication should be open, transparency and stability are values that we highly appreciate.

Organization of pentalog Projects

As Pentalog mainly operates on the outsourcing market, our teams are structured so as to meet the needs and constraints specific to each project.

Project managers are responsible for the quality of the products and services provided to the client and for compliance with the set deadlines and budgets while team leaders have a coaching role for all team members with regard to technical issues, supplying the code reviews and monitoring the technical indicators related to the project.

Project directors ensure the compliance with the contractual commitments related to the client and the quality assurance system for all the projects. A project director can get involved in 5-10 projects at the same time depending on the team size in view of reducing the number of "administrative" activities assigned to the project manager, identifying the good practices and applying them to various projects.

Join the Pentalog team, and you will get involved in interesting large-scale projects.

Diversity

We are aware that people often change their job because they want to change the project, the technologies or the field of activity. This is particularly important to Pentalog, the company striving to keep up the interest and enthusiasm of employees. Our partnerships are stable and we greatly value our business relationships. We collaborate with large IT&C companies as well as with companies from other sectors.
A career with Pentalog will give you the opportunity to work in various fields on projects using a variety of technologies with diverse working methodologies such as: SCRUM, Agile, Extreme Programming, PMI, V-Cycle as well as with various interlocutors which will help you develop your professional experience and skills.

Quality and organization

We decided to standardize our working procedures in 2008 when we obtained the ISO9001 certification. The certified activities do not concern only the development of IT projects but also all the company's activities (marketing, commercial, management, infrastructure etc.).
Our client recommendation rate amounts to 95%, which is an important way to advertise the company to prospective clients. However, there are many companies we start collaborating with on projects of 3-5 people which decide to increase the scope and amount of services entrusted to Pentalog shortly after having tested our methodologies and procedures.

Personal development and training programs

Since 2007, the Pentalog Evolution Program department has managed the employees' continuous training process. Thus, we build together a career plan whether you are a developer, a tester or a project manager.
We are fully aware that a company's value is given by its employees' skills, a truism which is all the more important for an IT company. With this aim in view, a certain number of training days is provided for every employee on a yearly basis.
The training needs can be identified when changing the project, during the employee assessment interview, upon the line manager's recommendation or simply on the employee's request. Depending on the specificity of each demand, there are self-training sessions, training sessions with an in-house trainer or training sessions with an external trainer.
The continuous training also includes knowledge sharing sessions which are organized under the form of IT Camps.
The Pentalog management understand these training needs of the employees and every request is dealt with individually.

Employee benefits

Pentalog offers wages above the market average. However, we are aware that money may not be a long- term motivation. Therefore, we constantly adjust our benefit packages to meet the needs of our employees.
The productivity bonus, the private health care insurance, the meal tickets, the free foreign language courses, the training programs, the technical library, the team buildings, the company parties, the access to a football ground / an indoor football field or the baby bonus are only a few of the benefits we have thought of.
Furthermore, the premium scheme system is based on total transparency: the employees have access to the evaluation criteria and are notified immediately of any changes regarding the bonus. The aim of the system is, above all, to provide high-quality projects, offer instant feedback to the employees and motivate the latter according to their performance.

The team spirit

A powerful company relies on employees who are bound by a strong team spirit. Pentalog encourages this close relationship between people and we are proud to continuously improve the collaboration spirit which exists within the Pentalog group.
At the end of the year, every delivery center organizes Christmas parties. Beside these popular parties, there are also quarterly team buildings and outings organized on different occasions.
For instance, to celebrate 10 years of Pentalog in Romania and 5 years in the Republic of Moldova, we organized PentaStock, an event which gathered over 300 employees. This mega-party was animated by several contests and surprises. We have immortalized the Pentastock atmosphere and we invite you to see the pictures on our Facebook page.
