Training and knowledge transfer

Trainings and knowledge transfer are important elements of our corporate culture. An average developer has worked in Arcadia for 4 years, and there is a number of “veterans” who work here for 10+ years. Arcadia invests a lot into further education of employees:

• Developers and project managers take courses and trainings on software development technologies and methodologies,
• Arcadia's advanced professionals provide in-house training for younger team members,
• Each Arcadian works in a knowledge-sharing environment and has access to corporate libraries and intranet.

Cooperation with St. Petersburg Universities: contributing to better education, looking for young talents

Arcadia provides assistance to St. Petersburg State University of Information Technologies, Mechanics and Optics in developing special courses in quality assurance. To get the best talents from technological universities, we invite students for an internship program every summer. The best of them are selected to work (part-time) at Arcadia while they are continuing their study at the University. Working with real projects improves the quality of their education and makes an excellent start for their professional growth.

Work atmosphere

At Arcadia, employees work in a friendly corporate atmosphere, supported by material factors: comprehensive benefits and compensation packages that include tuition reimbursement and insurance programs. All our employees adhere to the Corporate Code of Conduct — the document which codified main organizational rules, moral and ethical obligations as well as business practices to make them clear and easily available for every employee, old or new. This prevents possible misinderstandings and conflicts in a wide range of situations. All these points coupled with professional and career growth opportunities give Arcadia a good advantage of retaining software professionals.
