Our routine at OpenTag

We’re pretty proud to be working on this, we hope you’d be too.

It’s very important that we really don’t like micromanagement.

Do your job, if you want help — come and ask for it. No one is going to track your time or check you every 30 minutes to see how it’s going.

You don’t want to come to the office — that’s okay. You can work from your villa, from the seaside or from a cafe — we don’t care as long as you deliver what is promised. You want to come to the office — that’s okay too. The office is always open and we will be happy to have lunch together or a beer after work.

Health & Lifestyle

For employees that work in Kyiv and Sofia offices we provide medical insurance for you and your kids, with full coverage, sport subscription, breakfasts and lunches in the office, unlimited snacks and beverages.

At OpenTag we are having team events throughout the year — hiking, paintball battles, Kanu-kayaks, beer brewing and tasting and so much more!

Compensation & Vacation policy**

You are entitled to receive 20 business days of vacation with additional days-off on your birthday and work anniversaries, 10 sick-leave days, and official Public Holidays days off.

The salary is paid in euro to your PE bank account and we have full tax support if needed.
