What Is It Like Working at profiq?
VP of Engineering
A lot of new things to learn, good coffee, and a very supportive team that made my onboarding stress-free.
Company culture and innovative projects focused on U.S. tech companies.
By providing challenging opportunities for projects in both areas—engineering and management.
Software Engineering Manager
At first I was pretty shy and self-conscious. Everyone was very inviting and friendly, and I made a lot of good friends early on. To this day, I spend a lot of my free time with colleagues from work.
In my opinion, profiq is much more like the US companies/startups we work with than other Czech companies I experienced. The leadership is quite flat and bottom-up, and if you have good ideas, you're encouraged to act on them. Also, we work with the most current technologies—not just on paper, but in actual code.
I've been to several tech conferences, and we have monthly presentations about interesting technologies. We're encouraged to take time to study as part of the work week. What also helps is I'm surrounded by people who actually want to learn, and they are great resources.
Front-End Developer
My first days at profiq were awesome! I got to know my new workplaces and colleagues, and met my mentor, who showed me how things work at profiq and what I'd be working on. Everyone was very kind to me, and I am very satisfied with profiq.
We have a relaxed working atmosphere, profiq's flexibility, understanding and effective communication has a really good impact on employee satisfaction. There are many opportunities for personal and professional growth. If you want to become a technical expert or a team leader, profiq will support you and is happy to help you realize it.
I was assigned a mentor when I first started to help me meet my goals. We meet weekly to discuss my progress, and he is always available to answer my questions. Another great thing is that we learn at work. While I work on my skills at home, I can also take a few hours each week to study at work, which is great!
Software Engineer
Lots of people were familiar to me from the VSB - Technical University of Ostrava, and most of them were my age or younger. It was nice, I could communicate and hang out with people who were familiar to me.
There is a kind of trust between employees and management, I would say. You don't have to track your time at the office, you have space to relax and enjoy some activities, such as darts or chess.
I've improved my skills on each project I've worked on. I became a better communicator with my team, especially about the technologies we use. My knowledge of Python, OAuth, OIDC, and identity management is much better, as is my understanding of continuous improvement.
