Employee testimonials

I really enjoy working at Wirtek because I feel it is a secure environment, I really like the transparency and communication. I always find someone to get help in any issue, people are open to give a hand. I would recommend Wirtek to people who are looking for a comfortable office, with enough sparkle of adrenaline and commitment to the clients. The biggest difference Wirtek has brought to my life is the way it has made me feel about coming to work. It brought quality to my day to day thoughts, and as Marcus Aurelius said it: The happiness of your life depends on the quality of your thoughts.

Iuliana Coste

Software Developer & Scrum Master

On the first day when I started working on the project, my teammate told me: "In half an hour we have a meeting with the clients, so they get to know you too!" I won't lie, I was scared, I didn't know what to say, I thought I would stutter. Not only was the atmosphere relaxed, but also welcoming and open. Since then, I can say that I have gained courage, I have more confidence in myself and I can present my ideas and points of view even better. All because I have been listened to, both professionally and in a friendly way, by everyone I met in this company!

Junior Software Developer

What I like the most at Wirtek is the FlexTime and the working hours flexibility. Besides that I’ve been lucky to work on an existing project made by some “guru’s”, so I gather more expertise.I recommend this company for a friendly working environment, friendly colleagues, technical challenges, and knowledge base. I would write more but I’ll be “overflow: hidden” in my container.

We come to work with a smile on our faces because the atmosphere is relaxed. We have the possibility of growing on a personal and professional level. Good ideas are welcomed and taken into account by the management. The focus is on creativity, innovation, the progress of the employees, involving them in individual and group activities. One of the ideas that is encouraged is this: everything has a start, so just get involved and take the first step as soon as possible.

Codruța Borgovan

Senior Software Developer

In Wirtek I was surprised by the very friendly and familiar atmosphere. Having worked in other companies, some of them striving to be corporate and others being actual corporations, I have realized that I prefer a different type of work environment. I like that everyone knows each other, and work relationships go on to be real life friendships.

Matei Șuica

Software Developer

After a break for a new experience in Ibiza, I choose to come back because Wirtek defines a friendly atmosphere, homey, relaxing, and cozy. The colleagues, the environment, and the location create a vibe like the priceless motto: There's nothing like your Mom's house.

Ioan Stroia

Network and Telecommunication Specialist

Working at Wirtek is nice, I feel appreciated and listened to. I’m given opportunities to test my skills and develop my strengths in different roles, work areas. The biggest influence that these past 7 years had on me was making me see what it means to really understand the client’s needs. Going beyond what they say and challenging ideas to find the real pains behind them. This is thanks to the culture here at Wirtek, and working closely with Danish clients.
