Ukrainian programmers are taken to Poland

Dnepropetrovsk IT company “908” is moving all its employees from Ukraine to Poland, to a new office. When asked by the editors about the reason for this decision, company co-founder Andrei Khorsev briefly answered: “The country is fucked up,” but then told details about the move.

In the autumn, the company moved to an office in the central square of Wroclaw. “I am writing directly from it. This is a nice two-story building in the old town. So far, everything is in a disassembled state, just finished with the purchase of basic necessities (furniture, bingbegi, a network, music, a coffee machine, etc.). As we arrange, take a photo report, ”says Horsev.

A lawyer and a relocate program remained to work in the Dnipropetrovsk office. For all open vacancies, the company now offers a two-month internship, and then - moving to Poland.

Most of the “908” employees who moved already have experience in “remote work”: “908” almost its entire staff worked from Thailand for six months.

The company has a registered business in Poland, so all employees are officially employed there. The leaders of “908” are going to return to Ukraine, but in the future. “We will return to Dnepropetrovsk when the city and our country need us. This will happen at the moment when the power struggle stops, and the state is ready for creative evolutionary development. At the moment, there is no place for small businesses not associated with oligarchic structures,” said Khorsev.

Recall, one of the largest outsourcers in Ukraine, Luxoft, in May last year announced that it would take about 500 programmers from Ukraine and Russia to Bulgaria, Poland and Romania because of political risks. And recently, Luxoft conducted a search, paralyzing the work of the company for the whole day.
