Every quarter has its deliverables, its deadlines, and its retrospectives. This one also had homemade food, post-it notes, peer learning sessions, and a foosball tournament or two. Here’s what we were up to.
Learning that travels across roles
L&D Days returned this quarter. The sessions moved across topics that rarely sit side by side but belong in the same space when curiosity is taken seriously.
We explored lessons from Angular upgrades, practical insights drawn from hands-on experience, travel perspectives from navigating China, or even introductions to snowboarding and avalanche safety. The range of subjects captured how learning happens here, driven by individual interests and carried into the group.
That same appetite for learning carried into other formats. In Iași, colleagues joined a nutrition workshop led by Dr. Țuțu Alis, specialist in Diabetes, Nutrition, and Metabolic Diseases, where the focus stayed on everyday habits like caloric awareness, the role of fiber, and the importance of consistent meals. A financial literacy workshop followed in the same spirit, opening up conversations about topics that shape daily decisions and long-term stability.
Speaking of learning, we also launched “1 Minute, 1 Lesson,” a social media series where colleagues share practical insights from their experience in tech. Check it out here.
The culture of noticing people
With the usual “month of love” energy in the air, February brought an initiative that resonated across several offices. Appreciation Walls gave colleagues a space to leave handwritten notes for one another, whether to say thank you for support during a demanding week, to recognize work that made a difference, or to acknowledge small gestures that didn’t go unnoticed.
Women’s Day kept the same tone going, just in a slightly different way. The day came with flowers, sweets, and small gifts, and also with a message we shared outside our walls. On social media, we talked about women’s strengths that are often misunderstood at work and gave them the attention they deserve. Empathy can be mistaken for indecisiveness, confidence can be perceived as arrogance, and direct communication may be labeled as “difficult.”. We shared the perspectives of five colleagues from our company, highlighting these experiences and the value behind them.
We also added those thoughts into a longer article, for anyone who wants to explore the idea a bit more.
A market, a cause, a tradition
Easter is yet to come, but we welcomed it early with a Charity Easter Market, building on the same spirit as the Christmas Charity Fair we held last year. Tables filled with homemade food, people kept stopping by, and it turned into one of the warmer afternoons we’ve had.
The money raised went to the social projects of Parohia Sfânta Treime, supporting children’s activities, a canteen, and a social center. Meanwhile, a donation box filled up with clothes, toys, hygiene products, and non-perishable food.
We’ll carry this further with the next edition, already planned in Timișoara.
The Friday rituals
Each office found its own rhythm for Friday afternoons. Book swaps, foosball tournaments, quiz nights, board games, yoga sessions, and casual pizza catch-ups created space to slow down and reconnect at the end of the week.
Cluj, Iași, Timișoara, and București each brought their own flavor, but the outcome was consistent: a fun close to the week that people chose to be part of.
Final thoughts
The past months showed how much of our environment comes from the things we do together. Learning, recognition, and community moments happened because people chose to be part of them. In the end, these are the things that shape how everyday work feels and carry into what we build next.
