8. The company was established at very high speed during the fall of 2011.
In December 2011 we took over our first offices in the CBL II building on Lubicz street in Krakow.
In January 2012 the first programmers started working with us.
Over the next months we continued to recruit about 5 new programmers each month, soon making
us realize we had rented too small offices.
Our history
The decision to establish Schibsted Tech Polska (STP) was made by the management of Schibsted Norge i
n August 2011. Schibsted Norge runs Schibsted's companies in Norway. Among them are the subscription
newspapers Aftenposten, Bergens Tidende,Stavanger Aftenblad and the single copy newspaper VG.
The original intention was for STP to be part of the digital development for the subscriptions newspapers, w
orking closely together with Schibsted Norge Digital in Oslo.
9. In the spring of 2012 several other companies in the
Schibsted Media Group requested to set up teams of
programmers within STP.
This led to a new strategy for the company. Our new
vision is to be a world-class programming center for
companies in the Schibsted Media Group.
On October 1st 2012 we moved to our current offices in
the Avatar office building on Armii Kajowej in Krakow.
During Spring 2014 an important decision was made to
open a new office in Gdask.
June 2014 - first employee starts in Gdask office.
Nowadays Schibsted Tech Polska has two offices, one
in Krakow and one in Gdansk. Who knows what will the
future bring? :)
10. The programmers in STP Krak坦w are organized in teams
that work for different partner companies whereas some of
the programmers in STP Gdask are dynamically assigned
to various projects for partners within Schibsted Media
Group.
Each team cooperates closely with colleagues from its
partner company be it Norway, Sweden, Spain or UK.
Because we work with different partners, STP is involved in
a wide range of exciting projects using different
technologies.
Free code sharing among Schibsted companies is
established as a principle for projects in STP, encouraging
synergies between partner teams.
Our way of work
11. We emphasize open and direct communication in our work
culture. Staff are encouraged to ask questions, propose
ideas and suggest ways of improving processes.
Work languages are both Polish and English. Polish is used
within the team and the company, but all teams also have
daily contact in English with colleagues in Scandinavia and
other regions.
We have video conference systems set up in both offices to
make communication with partners as easy as possible. In
addition Skype, Blue Jeans and Google Hangout are used
frequently. We use Slack to communicate on daily basis.
