Weekly news

This month, four developers are celebrating their two-year anniversary at abz.agency:
- 2 Backend developers
- 2 Frontend developers

A lot can be written about each of these individuals’ achievements. Each of them has chosen their own unique development path, set their own goals, and learned from their own mistakes. Here’s what unites all four: they work and learn every day to become the best versions of themselves.

Two years of work is a small but important victory for each of them. It’s proof to themselves that they have chosen the right place, the right people, and are moving in the right direction. For the company, it’s a sign that the conditions created for the team – from regulations and personal development plans (PDP) to corporate culture and thoughtfully designed offices – are all working. The results are clear: the team members are growing, earning, and making their lives and the company’s life better.

We wish these developers continued inspiration, fresh ideas, and many more personal and professional wins!

For those of you looking to join a team where ambition, growth, and constant learning are encouraged, we’re happy to announce that there are open positions available. Reach out to hr@abz.agency, and our HR team will be happy to provide more information.

We are actively enhancing the designer's expertise within the framework of a Personal Development Plan (PDP). As he values feedback from experienced colleagues and seizes opportunities to learn new things, the company is fully supporting his growth, including funding external professional development courses.

This week we celebrate the anniversary of two guys who work hard to ensure that the UI in projects developed by abz.agency provides the most positive UX.

Our web designer celebrates his 2 year anniversary. This guy knows how to prioritize and maintain a work-life balance. Always ready to work, regardless of the time of day or day of the week. He holds the record for working hours – 220-240 hours in a month! A true titan! Besides work, he manages to spend time with his girlfriend, practice boxing, take care of his beloved BMW 4, engage in photography, and cryptocurrency trading. He is full of energy, time management skills, and talent.

We currently have only 3 available workspaces left in our Tallinn office (T1). Act quickly to secure your spot before they're all taken! 😉

2 years of collaboration with the frontend developer. An employee who started with an active development pace and has maintained it ever since. You can’t keep up with him! All his performance reviews were deservedly the highest. A young but very ambitious guy, an active participant in the PRO-bonus program (an opportunity to show proactivity and earn up to $4K a month). It’s simple: when an employee is ready to invest time and effort in developing his skills, the company fully supports him. All the conditions for career and financial growth are there: come and take them! This guy took advantage of this strategy.

It’s nice to look back, remember how each started, and realize how much work has been done and how much has been invested in the guys’ growth. However, there is still room for improvement, so in conclusion, we wish the guys not to lose their grip.

abz.agency is actively working on expanding the team, and there are open positions. To discuss current open positions , contact our HR at hr@abz.agency, and they will provide the details.

Additionally, each office is equipped with backup lighting, routers, and internet providers with constant power supply from EcoFlow Delta MAX/PRO systems. As further backup, we have StarLink satellite internet, generators, and a reserve of fuel.

In our offices, there are available workstations and several open vacancies. For more details, please contact us at hr@abz.agency. Join us and be a part of a resilient and forward-thinking team.

Over the weekend, our team visited a local animal shelter. Representing our company and our client, M.R., we donated over $1,000 worth of essential medications, food, and toys.

The day was packed with activities, including playing with dogs, cuddling cats, and providing care for each animal. Despite their past challenges, the animals were always eager for attention and expressed their gratitude warmly.

Our time at the shelter not only offered practical assistance but also deepened our understanding and connection with the animals, inspiring us to incorporate care and kindness into every action.

We are thankful for the opportunity to support this amazing shelter and appreciate our team's involvement in this initiative.

Those interested in joining our efforts are encouraged to contact hr@abz.agency for information on available positions.

At abz.agency, we are excited to celebrate the work anniversaries of three team members: one Fullstack Developer has been with us for four years, while a Frontend Developer and another Fullstack Developer are marking their first year.

During their time here, these employees have worked on a variety of projects, using different technologies and tackling numerous challenges amassing a wealth of experience. One of the main keys to success was our emphasis on teamwork.

In the hiring process, we prioritize finding individuals who can integrate well with our team for the long haul. The team has a direct say in selecting new specialists helping to maintain a collaborative and friendly work environment. Celebrating these anniversaries highlights the success of our strategy.

We want to thank these team members for their dedication to continual learning, guiding newer employees, and enhancing our company’s capabilities. Their hard work allows abz.agency to take on a broad spectrum of projects, from simple to highly complex ones. We are eager to see their continued professional and personal growth and hope they find joy and fulfillment in their projects every day.

We are currently looking to fill several positions and invite those interested in stable, long-term careers and ongoing professional development to reach out to hr@abz.agency to learn more about these opportunities.

Today we want to tell you about what awaits you when you join our team.

The main goal of the internship is to master the company's regulations, learn how to effectively work in a team, and acquire practical skills. This is the minimum set of basic knowledge required to start in a real project.

We create the most comfortable working conditions. The office design is in the Loft style. High-quality ventilation. Working on top hardware, comfortable chairs, and much more. The kitchen is equipped with everything necessary.

The internship begins with preparing your workspace. From day one with us, you get everything you need for the internship: MacBook Pro (trainee version), 4K monitor, Apple keyboard and mouse, and other devices needed for comfortable work. After successfully completing the internship, you will be provided with a working MacBook Pro.

After preparing the workspace, you start working on the internship plan. For each position, we have developed a full-fledged program, including both theoretical and practical parts. The team responsible for your training monitors your progress and evaluates the quality of your work.

Result of our strategy is evident: we have a cohesive team, in which many employees have been working for many years. We regularly celebrate their work anniversaries — whether it's three, seven, nine, or even fourteen years. This is perhaps the best feedback for the company.

We invite interested candidates for long-term and fruitful cooperation. By sending your resume to the email hr@abz.agency, you will receive information about active vacancies from our HR department.

This week, 3 employees celebrate their work anniversaries at abz.agency:

• - 2 years of work as a Frontend Dev

During this time, the guys have managed to seamlessly integrate into the team, master the company regulations and best practices of web development. Moreover, they all successfully continue their development according to PDP within the framework of their current projects. Each of them has shown the ability to listen and act upon the knowledge from experienced colleagues, thanks to which working with them is always a pleasure.

We wish you continued strength and perseverance. While every success story is unique, the road to your goals takes dedication. We're excited to see you tackle the diverse challenges ahead and grow with us!

5 years ago, a Node.js Backend Developer joined our team. At first, things were not easy: there were mistakes, and there was a lot to learn, but with hard work and self-discipline, success followed.

During one project, our developer's natural leadership and client communication skills shone through. With focused development through PDP these talents flourished. First Backend Developer grew to PM Assistant, and after some time, he was already independently leading projects as Lead PM – marking a remarkable 5-year company anniversary! He now leads promising PMs and PM Assistants, sharing his knowledge and fostering their growth.

Beyond this inspiring career trajectory, he maintains an active lifestyle – skiing in winter and playing football in summer. An unusual passion for American cars adds a unique dimension – 3D design, repair, and investments. It's a testament to his skill that he balances all this with the demanding role of a PM, always alert and responsive to client needs.

We wish him continued proactivity and the drive to improve! May he always find the time, desire, and opportunity to bring his ambitious plans to life.

If you're eager to work with technical PMs and learn from the best, send your resume to hr@abz.agency. Our HR team will gladly share details about our open positions.

In March of last year, we welcomed three talented individuals to our team: a front-end developer, a back-end developer, and a QA specialist. They quickly acclimated to our workflow during their internship, demonstrating dedication and a drive to learn.

After completing their internship and joining the projects, their training continued within the framework of the PDP (Personal Development Plan). During working hours, they were getting acquainted with their projects, and in their free time they worked on the PDP, which includes practical and theoretical tasks.

Today, we're proud to say their hard work and commitment to the PDP have paid off. They are now valued team members, continually expanding their skills.

There is a lot of work and interesting projects ahead of us. We wish them continued joy in their creative work and the satisfaction of seeing their contributions come to life.

For those seeking new opportunities and willing to invest in their growth, we have open vacancies. Contact our HR department at hr@abz.agency to learn more.

The abz.agency team is made up of die-hard Avengers fans. Some of us crack up at Deadpool's jokes, while others admire the monster-hunting prowess of the Witcher. Our offices are designed to inspire heroic work, and you'll never be bored on a break. In fact, our IT team performs daily feats – battling bugs, optimizing costs, and ensuring top-notch products!

Everyone has different tastes, but what unites the team is a shared passion for growth and impact – both in word and deed. Want to work alongside Iron Man or Batman? That's up to you! Each employee is equipped with everything they need for success, including branded merch for a sense of team spirit.

If you thrive in a dynamic environment, we invite you to send your resume to hr@abz.agency.

This week begins with a delightful celebration – our full-time English teacher's 6th work anniversary! Her contribution to the development of abz.agency's expertise goes far beyond what meets the eye. Since all our clients are international and project documentation is in English, language proficiency (at least in understanding and reading) is a must for every employee.

Some job seekers join our company with a basic level of English. Our teacher dynamically assists them in raising that skill to a more advanced level. The task remains challenging, but with a goal and determination, anything is possible.

Groups for regular classes are formed in pairs, based on each employee's skill level. This ensures everyone receives ample attention and time to practice their English.

We often say that English lessons feel like a mix of therapy and friendly coffee chats. Our teacher excels at creating a welcoming atmosphere and finding a unique approach for each student. Discussions on diverse work and life topics build communication skills and vocabulary – you never know who you'll meet or what you'll need to talk about in English!

We wish our teacher continued inspiration and joy in her work. You are doing an amazing job helping dozens of young people develop one of the most essential skills in today's world. Keep shining, and may everything in your life be "Very good"!

All employees at abz.agency have the opportunity to improve their English. To join this group of fortunate individuals, send your resume to hr@abz.agency.

The birds are singing outside our offices, the air smells like flowers, which means it's time to congratulate the girls on the holiday of spring and beauty!

We're proud to see the number of women in IT roles at abz.agency grow significantly. This reflects our belief that talent and ability know no gender, and we reject outdated stereotypes about capabilities.The girls in the team prove every day that they are capable of things that not all guys can do. The team maintains healthy professional relationships, where personal boundaries and the unique skills of each member of our team are important, not stereotypes of "female" and "male" roles. With this approach, everyone can reach their full potential on an equal footing.

Our beautiful team members are dynamic, driven individuals who excel in their roles – they're advancing their skills according to PDP, taking on leadership challenges, and managing complex projects. At the same time, they find time to be beautiful, keep up their femininity, create a comfortable atmosphere in our offices and set a cheerful team spirit, for which the whole team is grateful.

May every day of the year be filled with bright impressions, may your wildest dreams come true, and on March 8th may you be presented not only with a bouquet of tulips, but also with many new opportunities for success in your career and personal growth.

If you're passionate about a career with a company that values your potential, we invite you to explore our open positions. Send your resume to hr@abz.agency.

We are congratulating the PM with 3 year anniversary of working with us. Let's go through a short success story together.

The first year of work in the company can be called a year of trial, error and learning. Joining us with 7 years of leadership in heavy metallurgy, our PM embraced the challenge of a new industry. He was used to responsibility and discipline. However, following the principle "Don't invent your own rules until you learn to play by the rules" he had to learn and explain a lot from the PM regulations. On average, it takes 6-12 months to raise (grow) a good PM. While the first year held some setbacks with three failed projects, they gave a lot of valuable lessons and personal growth.

The second year in the company coincided with the beginning of the war. It should be noted here that the PM began to listen to and follow the instructions of the company's management. He strictly followed the PM regulations and preached to other guys to follow the organizational and technical regulations. As part of the PDP (Personal Development Plan), they expanded their technical knowledge in HTML, CSS, JS, PHP, and server configuration. This is an integral part of the PM job to understand what is happening "under the hood" at the developer level. The second year ended productively. I would also like to note separately that he was working under the Lead PM, who has been in the company for 10 years.

Third year of work. As part of the PDP, the PM received basic knowledge in UI/UX, working with GA4 statistics, working with A/B tests and extensive knowledge on increasing the CR of the project. In the middle of the year, he independently started to lead one project and the second one under the subordination of the Lead PM (5th year of work in the company). By the end of the year, he independently leads two large projects. He is responsible for internal regulation knowledge checks for people in the company. He takes on organizational tasks that are difficult for other PMs (discipline in offices, letting people go, discussion of complex organizational issues).

We're invested in our PM's development, aiming for their transition into a Lead PM role. In a year we will come back to him... let's see what he has achieved.

If you want to get into the hands of experienced specialists, get deep knowledge in IT - come to us, we will teach you. You can send your resume to hr@abz.agency

Four years ago, a front-end developer joined our team with a great desire to grow and develop. The company was happy to help and provide a wide range of growth opportunities within the framework of the PDP (Personal Development Plan) which is built individually for each employee of the company, depending on their strengths and weaknesses in soft or hard skills.

Thanks to his perseverance, discipline, and desire to grow, he was able to overcome all obstacles, achieve impressive results within the PDP, and confidently take the position of a full-stack developer. When we heard about his desire to work in our new office in Tallinn, we gladly supported his relocation. This team member brought not only his exceptional skills but also the collaborative spirit that defines abz.agency to Tallinn office.

Four years of dedicated and meticulous work is a remarkable achievement! We wish you continued success, filled with stimulating projects and exciting opportunities for professional growth. May your journey be filled with joy and fulfillment. Thank you for your commitment and contributions to our team.

For all job seekers looking for work in Tallinn, we currently have job openings. You can contact our HR department and clarify the details of open vacancies by writing to hr@abz.agency.

"A friend of mine who works for your company recommended you to me." This is one of those nice phrases that we often hear from job seekers. And for good reason! When you join us, you will immediately receive a detailed tutorial in the form of regulations that describe the entire work process in detail. This helps you get up to speed quickly, simplifies the onboarding process, and allows you to focus on the technical aspects of the job.

The PDP (Personal Development Plan), developed by experienced colleagues with your input, includes practical tasks and theoretical study. Completing PDP is challenging and requires time, but it effectively increases the level of expertise, which provides grounds for a review of salary.

Our thoughtfully designed offices blend comfort and collaboration. High-quality equipment, ample amenities, and a supportive team culture ensure a positive and productive work environment.

If you are looking for a job, share the values of development and recognise the importance of expertise, we invite you to a dialogue. You can contact our HR department and clarify the details of open vacancies by writing to hr@abz.agency.

Reflecting on the results of the New Year holidays we remember not only about joys and fun, but also about those who are not able to take care of themselves.

This year we are especially proud that our company has once again become part of a charitable history filled with care and attention to the wellbeing of our furry little friends - animals. This is not the first time we have supported animal shelters, providing not only the necessary medicine, but also food, as well as various accessories that facilitate the comfort of our beloved four-legged friends. The welfare of homeless animals is a shared responsibility, and we find gratification in being able to enhance their lives, even if only in small ways.

This year, our client (M.R.), a man with a big heart and a deep sense of responsibility to society, joined our philanthropic efforts. In such difficult times, he actively supports our country, participating in large-scale charity events and sending various medical and other assistance to those in need.

This time, thanks to M.R., we were able to provide significant assistance to those who cannot ask for help for themselves, but deeply feel the impact of our assistance. Together we create bright stories of charity, reminding us that each of us can spread kindness and care around us.

Today we will share the news that a new inverter generator and EcoFlow Delta PRO have been installed in one of our offices, namely K2.

What does this mean for us and our clients? These powerful and reliable devices are designed to provide power even in the event of a power outage or emergency. Equipping all offices with backup power is not just a strategy, it is a guarantee of your comfort and safety.

And the best strategy is preparation! With such equipment, we are ready for various challenges, and our clients and guys will not have to worry about possible interruptions in work or life. After all, in a world of change, it is better to be one step ahead, and we have already implemented this step-by-step strategy.

The magic of Christmas is approaching, and our incredible clients, just like real Santa Clauses, have already begun to delight us with New Year's surprises!

This holiday season is a great time to take a moment and express gratitude. We thank you for your inspiring projects, for your teamwork, and for the trust you place in our company. Your support is an invaluable gift to us, and we strive to live up to it to the fullest. We are proud that we continue to maintain our brand and increase the level of our expertise and professionalism.

We look forward to our joint plans and challenges in the coming year! Once again, thank you so much for your faith in us and our cooperation. Let's continue to create miracles together!

Today, we're excited to share a significant and joyful moment in our team – the celebration of our Lead Project Manager's nine-year anniversary in our company!

We express our gratitude for nine years of dedicated service and contribution to the company. We wish our Lead PM continued success in his career, filled with exciting projects and joyful moments at work. Thank you for strengthening our team and fostering a friendly atmosphere!

Read—therein lies the strength. No GPT chat can give you as much as a "conversation" with a good author during the process of working on their book.

In our company, in addition to the PDP (Personal Development Plan), there is also mandatory reading of books. Our electronic library, plus audiobooks, comprises more than 150 books. Some of the essential books are also available in the office. The books cover various topics, with three mandatory books for all guys. After that, the Project Manager recommends reading more specialized literature. The books cover areas such as business analysis, marketing, sales, negotiation, management, and customer relations. For example, the HR manager reads a book on PHP 8, Project Manager reads a book on sales, and Office Manager reads books on management. This approach allows for broadening horizons, expanding knowledge boundaries (both hard and soft skills), and providing guys with the opportunity to relax while gaining insights into the challenges or advantages of other professional domains. Guys are encouraged to reflect on the lessons learned and apply them to their work.

All guys write reports on the chapters they read every day. Each person reads one chapter per day, taking no more than 7-15 minutes. Afterward, it is mandatory to write a report on what was read. The report format depends on the book the guy is working on. For example, if it's a book on sales, the report should briefly cover the chapter's content and how the information can be applied to work, perhaps as soon as the next day. For technical books, guys should write about what was studied, tested, and where the knowledge can be applied.

If it's a book like "Will" by Will Smith, the report may look like this:
- Book: "Will"
- Chapter 10: "Alchemy"
- I admit that the concept of the universe as a deity resonates with me. I consider myself an atheist, but when I reflect on my journey, the series of events and coincidences—can it all be just random? Of course, it can, but it's easier for a person to live believing in some purpose. I don't reject the idea that it can give me strength. I remember how I joined abz.agency, broke and in an unfamiliar city, Bila Tserkva. In those early months of business struggles, everyone needed a job. I found a vacancy, took the test, even though I thought the competition was tough, with experienced people who would surpass me. But I just moved my stone. The concept of the universe aligns with me, but it doesn't provide a finished product; it gives chances. I need to make an effort, focus on goals, and achieve results. It doesn't hand out success; it needs to be earned.

This week, our company is delighted to commemorate several joyful and significant events tied to the work anniversaries of our valued guys. Congratulations to the teams at two Kyiv offices (K2 and K5_3): QA (3 years), Backend (2 years), and Frontend (1 year). Each individual has navigated a unique path, attaining personal victories and accumulating valuable experience in their respective fields. While acknowledging these achievements, we encourage everyone to maintain the momentum.

Let your professional enthusiasm be boundless, and may your eagerness to acquire new knowledge and apply it in practice never wane. We extend our heartfelt wishes for continued success, job satisfaction, financial growth, and, undoubtedly, an everlasting wellspring of inspiration! May every workday bring you joy in your endeavors. Thank you for your invaluable contributions to our shared endeavors, and may only bright prospects and new triumphs await you in the future!

Happy 18th birthday to you, abz.agency!

Since the first day of the company, we always had a desire to make complex, custom and non-standard solutions. To work with understanding clients who are ready to work with us and pay for the company's services. It's always difficult, but isn't it interesting?! If it would have been simple, everyone would have gotten bored of it long ago.

We thank each other for trying, learning new things and growing. Some of us are already teaching and helping others while still diligently reaching for new heights of knowledge.

Our company survived the hard years of 2008, 2014 and 2022 thanks to the principle of stability: smooth growth, always stable salaries and personal growth within the team.

abz.agency grows, but our core pillars remain unchanged:

• - Our goal: Every one-two days our clients receive complete functional blocks. Our clients receive the project exactly according to the PRD
• - Our mission: To deliver projects on time with required quality

Thank you to each and every one of you! After all, the company is the guys (and girls) who work in it. Once again, thank you everyone for your work and keep going!

P.S. Thank you everyone for self organizing a wonderful gift for ourselves - massage chair for one of our offices.

Our designers have unleashed a fresh series of fantastic stickers. Showcasing none other than our beloved office mascot, our cat Gaika! (in honor of the localized version of Gadget Hackwrench, from “Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers”)

Gaika, our office cat, is the heart and soul of our team. She is a permanent participant of all our meetings, conducting her daily inspections of all office premises and keeping order. She knows that by the end of the day there’s always a tasty treat from CEO waiting for her. During lunch break she has her scheduled play sessions with QA girls and on weekends she can always expect a lot of guests who come to feed and play with her. She always sends off the last person leaving the office and checks if he turned off all the lights and equipment :)

These stickers capture hilarious moments from her everyday adventures in the office, mirroring the unique experiences we all share in our workplace. They don't just adorn our team's gadgets and gear; they infuse a dose of humor and individuality into their work accessories.

Our trusty mascot is all geared up for more office escapades and hard work, serving as our lucky charm. Join us in celebrating the quirky spirit of our team and the essence of individuality with our new stickers! 😸💼

Gaika is the living soul of the K1 office and team as a whole.

Recently we celebrated a special day for our company and our colleagues in T1. It feels like just yesterday we were celebrating the opening of this office, but time has flown by, and now we're marking our colleague's two-year work anniversary here.

Since the day we opened our office in Estonia, he quickly became an essential part of our team. These two years have seen him not only grow professionally but also become an integral member of our team. We want to express our appreciation for his dedication, hard work, and creative problem-solving skills. He doesn't just write code; he crafts user experiences that our customers love.

Thank you for being a part of our journey, for making our projects better, and for inspiring us to reach new heights. We can't wait to see what surprises you have in store for us in the future and the exciting new projects you'll bring to life.

Congratulations on your two-year work anniversary, and may this adventure continue to be long, thrilling, and successful!

We're gearing up for the winter season. This month, we've reinvested in our office infrastructure and equipment to ensure uninterrupted operations.

To start, we've acquired a new diesel generator, the Kraft&Dele KD199 (18/19 kW), which will provide continuous power to office K1. While it won't completely cover the office's power requirements (which exceed 32 kW), it will enable us to run all essential equipment, lighting, the kitchen, ventilation, and an electric boiler for office heating. We also have plans for further upgrades to the electrical wiring and electrical panel.

In addition, we're in the process of installing a gasoline generator, the Senci SC17000R (9/10 kW), in office K5_3. We're ensuring a reliable backup power system for this office, allowing us to power essential equipment such as lighting, the kitchen, and an electric boiler for heating. Similar to office K1, we will also be enhancing the electrical infrastructure with upgrades to wiring and the electrical panel.

Lastly, for office K2, where generator installation isn't feasible, we're setting up an EcoFlow Delta PRO (3.6/4 kW) to maintain uninterrupted power supply, mainly for lighting and workstation outlets.

Please note that office K4 was fully equipped for uninterrupted operation last winter with a generator that meets all the office's needs, including the electric boiler. Office K3 enjoys a permanent power supply through a backup city line.

We're ready to face this winter head-on, ensuring that our offices remain functional and comfortable.

K5_3 is now open for business! I want to remind you that we had previously leased a spacious new office in K5 (our 5th office in Kyiv). K5 was divided into three sections, and the first section, K5_3, is now fully complete. It boasts everything you need for a comfortable work environment including interior finish in our signature loft style, kitchen, restrooms, air conditioning, ventilation, furniture, and more. Our team has already settled into this fantastic workspace.

K5_3 is equipped and designed for maximum comfort during your workday:
- Water filter with six levels of filtration and reverse osmosis;
- Convenient kitchen equipped with a fridge, microwave, coffee machine offering 13 beverages, a 10-liter kettle, and a variety of breakfast, lunch options, yogurt, fruits, cookies, candies, snacks, soft drinks, and more;
- Neck massager;
- Pull-up bar for a back stretch or occasional pull up;
- Tabletop football for a quick break;
- Air conditioning and ventilation systems;
- Ceiling fans for added comfort and air circulation;
- Automatic UV disinfection lamps;
- Two internet providers and two Wi-Fi networks;
- Two meeting rooms;
- Plus, many other amenities that you'd expect in any of our offices.

Of course, there's still more work to be done, including setting up backup power (generator, EcoFlow, StarLink, backup wiring), adding more interior decor and incorporating additional furniture.

Our team is dedicated to making sure that everyone enjoys a comfortable and productive work environment. Join us at K5_3, where work meets comfort!

Today is a day of special congratulations and joy! We are thrilled to celebrate two significant anniversaries within our team simultaneously – those of our highly skilled QA Specialist and our seasoned Backend Developer.

We extend our heartfelt congratulations on this outstanding achievement and express our hopes for your continued development and growth within our company. May your work always be engaging and inspiring, with each workday bringing forth more reasons for joy and pride in your accomplishments.

We always try to make the work environment the best for everyone. It's not just a hoodie, it's a show of our respect and support from our extended team. May this autumn be warm and stylish for all of us!

We are pleased to announce a new and important stage in the development of our company - the opening of the fifth office in Kyiv - K5! Despite all external challenges, we continue to actively develop and expand our presence in the market.

So, about K5. Our new office is located in a modern business center, fully completed and decorated to the standards that we have set for all offices of our company. We have made every effort to create a comfortable and convenient work space for our guys. At this stage, we have already designed a ventilation system, purchased furniture, and supplemented the technical park with the necessary equipment. Keeping in mind the upcoming fall and winter, we have also ensured that we have a generator and backup power to keep our office running smoothly, even in the event of unforeseen circumstances. K5 is located in a convenient location with excellent transport links and close to the metro station, which makes it easily accessible to all our guys.

We are proud of this new step in the development of our company and are confident that it will strengthen our position in the market. We look forward to new achievements and great moments that we will experience together!

Today we congratulate one of our Project Managers on his 5th anniversary with the company and want to celebrate a truly remarkable journey of development, growth and leadership.

Once again we have a reason to congratulate our incredible team members. But today we are happy to congratulate not one or two, but six guys who, together with us, have reached the first and important stage in their career - the first year of work in the company!

The past year has been a year of growth, transformation and achievement for these six amazing guys. They joined us as interns eager to learn and contribute, and today they are full members of our company.
During this time, they have not only embraced the values and culture of our company, but also acquired the knowledge and skills necessary to succeed in their fields. What sets these guys apart is their commitment to continuous learning and improvement. With individual development plans tailored to their needs and demands, they are steadily progressing along their chosen career path. This commitment to personal growth not only benefits them, but also uplifts the entire team, creating an atmosphere of innovation and progress.

We believe that our people are our greatest asset, and the growth of these six guys is a testament to that belief. We congratulate them once again and wish them further development, achievement of the desired results and maximum satisfaction from their work!

Today we are happy to share a sweet moment that highlights the care and unity that define our team.

Our new merch-branded umbrellas with the company logo are a small element of caring for guys in anticipation of the coming autumn. These umbrellas are more than just practical accessories, they symbolize each other's support and our commitment to solving any problems that come our way, both individually and as a company.

Like the strong and reliable shelter that an umbrella provides, our team members are the backbone that keeps the Company on top. Diligence, dedication and commitment of the team is a solid basis for the development of the company day by day.
So, whether it's protecting you from a sudden downpour or tackling tough challenges, these umbrellas remind us that together we can overcome anything.

We are very proud to congratulate our QA specialist on achieving a significant milestone in 4 years of work in our company!

It is always a pleasure to watch the professional and personal growth of a person, and the ability to turn difficulties into opportunities is always a very good incentive and example for the rest of the guys in the team. And since, in addition to professional achievements during this time, our guy bought a car for herself and is a real car enthusiast from the company, she was presented with a nice gift: a set of front brake discs with perforation and PowerStop notches, along with PowerStop carbon-ceramic pads. Let them please you and ensure safety on the road. Of course we wish you further improving your skills and development as a QA specialist.

May the next chapter of your career be filled with exciting opportunities, constant learning and new horizons. Keep taking on challenges because they are the path to growth.

This year there were around 5000 attendees at the iForum 2023 conference (Kyiv, August 10). It's been a long time, a very long time, since such events were held in Ukraine. Honestly, at times, we even lacked such conferences in peaceful and healthy times. You come and see that your company is not alone in the IT field. You witness and hear how many companies and their guys face everyday challenges. At iForum, everyone shares their experiences in solving various work challenges. Such emotions help propel us forward.

Usually, I'd like to talk about the presentations and the major global companies that were represented. But this time, I just want to say a huge thank you for the event itself. For the opportunity to feel alive at a large-scale offline gathering. It doesn't matter at all what the presentations and topics were. What matters is that people came and held this wonderful event in the current times.

Of course, we heard many interesting insights that can be applied to work and self-development in the IT field. We are truly thankful to everyone who organized this event and to abz.agency for providing the opportunity to attend and enjoy the atmosphere.

Rarely do you receive such uplifting words from guys. These words serve as motivation to persevere through all the challenges: losses, expenses, difficulties, and fatigue. Despite the adversities, we continue to move forward, drawing strength from every step. This journey offers opportunities for growth, learning, and improvement. Our progress is fueled by the dedication of our team, who work on themselves, demonstrating what's achievable under strong leadership, discipline, and adherence to regulations. Brick by brick, line by line, project by project, we march ahead with willpower, energy, and enthusiasm.

“This month I celebrated my anniversary with the company. And for a whole month, I thought about what to write. I decided to focus on personal growth. During this time, I became a completely different person, a better version of myself. I became stronger, tougher, more resilient.

I revised my values and found new ones. I clearly understand what I want from life. For the first time, I want to brag about my work to friends, although not everyone will understand why it's so cool. It was an interesting and complex transformation.

I would like to thank you for seeing how you can conduct your business, what real development is. I definitely feel that my ambitions have also grown and the maximum that I can achieve has become much greater, it is worth a lot. I saved, well, 5 years in the context of understanding how the world works.

Well, I would also like to emphasize that my life has become much more comfortable and interesting. Before I started working at abz.agency, it was a problem for me to get a subscription somewhere, buy a book, or some kind of course, all this is money. My workplace was not the best and most comfortable.

Now I live a completely different life with a lot of opportunities. I don't want to stop there, it will only get better, but I know how to appreciate what I have and know how to be grateful for it, so thank you for your contribution to my life.”

Let's brighten up your working days with bright colors!

Today we want to share a small, but pleasant rule, that we have in our company's regulations. As a token of appreciation for the outstanding work of our female team members, we are offering them the opportunity to enjoy a manicure featuring our company logo—all expenses covered by the company!

This wonderful perk not only allows our girls to proudly represent our company at the office but also wherever they go. It's a fantastic way to showcase our company's spirit and the incredible team that drives its success.
At our company, we believe that the little things can make a big difference. We want to show our gratitude and pamper our female guys who play an essential role in making our workplace so special.

Let's continue to remember that our company's success is the result of our collective efforts, and each one of you plays a critical role in making it all happen. So, let's wear our logo proudly and continue building an inspiring and dynamic workplace together.

We're excited to share that those who've been following our page already know about our beloved pet cat, Gadget Hackwrench, who has made one of our Kyiv offices her cozy home. All the guys love and take care of her, and the cat is also a bit of a “rescue ranger”, bringing heaps of joy and positivity to our work environment just like the spirited heroine from "Chip and Dale".

Recently, our creative designer had an absolutely delightful idea to inject some extra fun into our corporate merch. The result? Adorable and hilarious Gadget Hackwrench stickers that perfectly capture her wide range of emotions and antics as a "real guy"!

We've distributed these stickers to all the members of our team. It's heartwarming to see everyone decorating their work gadgets with these cute stickers, spreading smiles wherever they go!

In today's fast-paced business world, where technological advances and market dynamics are constantly evolving, it is essential for guys to constantly improve their skills and stay ahead of the curve. There are many ways to grow professionally, one of the best and most effective ways is to read books. Working with literature not only expands knowledge, but also develops the necessary business skills that can help guys reach new heights.

Therefore, our company has its own library, which for several years has collected a large number of books for the professional and personal development of guys. Upon joining our team, an guy is required to read several books, and they also have the freedom to choose the ones that are most relevant to their needs. We read books thoroughly, conducting detailed analysis and evaluation. Each person then writes a report summarizing their reading and provides ideas on how the concepts and insights from the books can be applied in practice. This process provides a highly valuable and practical experience for our guys.

Thanks to reading and discussing books, guys' horizons expand, communication skills increase, critical thinking develops, and emotional intelligence improves. Cultivating a habit of reading enables guys to navigate change, identify more opportunities, and maintain relevance and expertise in their respective industries.

We invite those who think in a similar direction to our team. You can find out all the details by writing to us by email: hr@abz.agency

When you feel the pressure build up, or you need a little break to refocus, simply reach out to one of these colorful balls and squeeze it lightly. You will be amazed at how they can relieve stress and provide instant relief!

We are confident that these anti-stress balls will have a positive impact on our work environment, promoting relaxation, creativity and a healthier work-life balance. This is a small investment that will bring significant benefits to the well-being of our guys and overall job satisfaction.

Today we will share with you a small update in our offices. We recently decided to liven up office life a bit and now we have a small corner of the "underwater world" - an aquarium.

Everyone knows that according to psychologists, watching marine life is a great way to relax, relieve tension and emotional exhaustion. However, it turned out that it is also a very useful “tool” for health. The aquarium is an excellent natural air humidifier and it reduces the number of allergens in the room. Scientific research that observing marine life for 15 minutes helps to restore the visual muscles and removes the negative impact of monitors and gadgets on our vision.

So we hope that our new inhabitants will feel good and comfortable with us and we will have a long and mutually beneficial cooperation)

Well, we also invite you to join our team of developers in various areas. To find out more about our vacancies, please email us: hr@abz.agency

We are always all looking forward to spring and good weather, when we can spend more time outdoors and go for walks. And what could be better on a cool morning than fresh and bracing coffee "to go" on the way to work or hot and aromatic tea during an evening walk? In general, we decided that such a device will definitely appeal to anyone and will be useful to everyone and made no mistake. The guys have already appreciated the new souvenirs from the company and are actively using them.

Well, for those who would like to become part of our team, we remind you that you can write to email: hr@abz.agency

Happy Easter to all those who are celebrating this weekend! We hope you have a fantastic time filled with joy and unforgettable moments.

As nature blooms this spring, may your kind and ambitious endeavors also flourish and grow magnificently. We extend our warmest wishes for happiness and peace, not only during this Easter season but always!

One of our team members has welcomed a new addition to their family, a beautiful baby! (We usually jokingly believe that when babies grow up, they will join the ranks of our team.) We extend our warmest wishes for the baby's health and happiness, as well as a bright and exciting childhood filled with laughter and joy under a peaceful sky.

And also we wish parents as many joyful and happy moments together as possible. Let this happy event be another reason for growth, motivation and personal development together to be a worthy example for your child!

We are always happy to share good news, and today is the day to do it! We have opened a new office in Kyiv - K4.

K4 is situated on the left bank area of Kyiv, making it exceptionally convenient for guys residing on this side of Dnipro or utilizing the corresponding metro line. Moreover, the office boasts a favorable location in proximity to the metro station and other transportation options, ensuring comfortable commuting for its staff.
Before starting work, the office was freshly renovated, everything necessary for the comfort and efficient work of the team was purchased.

Heating system is autonomous at K4, ensuring a consistent temperature and comfortable microclimate within the premises. To further enhance the reliability of operations, a generator and Starlink were also installed, offering uninterrupted connectivity and power supply during blackouts. As a result, all guys can work with maximum stability and efficiency.

So, K4 is already actively working, and we are moving on to our next plans to expand even more. If you want to join our team, please email: hr@abz.agency

13! This time 13 is a lucky number. And that's all because we congratulate our lead designer on the 13th anniversary of his work in our company. So we really want this year with such a mystical figure to be successful for one of our oldest guys and bring only good things to him.

Our Lead designer has grown up with the company, his expertise, experience and professionalism grew and improved before our eyes. And today we proudly look at the achievements of one of our company members.

First of all, we of course wish him health, energy, creative inspiration, a sense of interest in new projects and cases. Let the work bring moral satisfaction and a decent financial result. Let the desire to remain part of our team and be a good example for new guys does not leave for many years to come!
Move forward!

And if you are interested in joining our company, please email: hr@abz.agency

Today we will continue the story of our new K3 office, which opened on February 13 and has been fully operational for some time now. The team has settled into their new working and creative space, adding their own unique atmosphere while maintaining our unified corporate style.

K3 guys have already the positive aspects and advantages of the new location:

• - good location and convinient transport interchange
• - developed infrastructure and a stable situation with electricity in the district
• - comfortable conditions inside the office and new renovation

During the renovation and equipping of K3, our goal was to create a comfortable, cozy, and productive environment for the entire team. We believe that we have achieved this and plan to continue improving our facilities. In the near future, we will be searching for a new space for our next office in a new location.

There are still free places in K3 for new guys. We invite all willing and interested candidates.
Contact us: hr@abz.agency

Recently, our company had another pleasant occasion for celebration. We congratulate one of our PMs with 2 years of work in our team.

Looking back, it was a really active and fruitful period for him. Adaptation in the team and tacking new knowledge, skills and experience. Various projects, communication with new clients, organizing the work of his team, of course growing responsibility and a whole range of unforeseen circumstances for all of us. And we are very pleased to state that by the end of 2 years our guy has grown significantly and succeeded in all areas of work.

Of course, we wish him new achievements, interesting projects, well-coordinated work in the team and personal satisfaction from the work and its results.

And we also want to wish ourselves such hardworking and motivated guys who are also ready to learn and develop.

By the way, we are open to recruiting new guys to our team.

Send your questions and suggestions by email: hr@abz.agency

Today we will show you a little backstage from our new office (K3 - our third office in Kyiv), which is almost ready for launch and starts working from February 13th. We tried to take every possible detail into consideration to make it fit our standards.

K3 is a 7-minute walk from the Taras Shevchenko metro station and is located in a brand new Business Center (it was built in 2019). Given the realities of today and the difficult situation with power supply the location has an advantage of stable power supply, autonomous boiler room, elevators and a 24-hour security post.

Interior of the office is decorated in a common corporate loft style, like other offices of the company.
The office has done the following:

• - Loft style walls and ceiling (exposed concrete)
• - Kitchen (new Krups coffee machine, 10l kettle, 7-stage cleaning filter, refrigerator, microwave are waiting for our guys)
• - Bar counter for 6 persons
• - Toilet and shower (This is a bonus for those who like to ride a bike to work for example)
• - Ventilation (exhaust) of all rooms
• - Preparation for future supply ventilation
• - Meeting room for 3 and 6 people
• - Redundant wiring for PPS EcoFlow
• - Individual lighting of workplaces (as in all offices)
• - Casers, Ajax alarm and electronic lock

The first 4 guys will already enter the office on the 13th to launch the office. But in our new space there are still free equipped places.

To join our team, please contact hr@abz.agency

Happy Valentine's Day ❤️❤️❤️

Despite the fact that it is still winter around, this day can be called one of the brightest and warmest days of the year, as it is the “international day of love”

Love is that huge force that can overcome any difficulties, give you super power and great strength, inspire you to wonderful and ambitious achievements, and present you with feelings of happiness and flight. May your beloved and dear person always be with you next to whom your world will be brighter, more colorful and happy.

We wish you to be surrounded with love in all spheres of your life, and let it always be a place and time for real romance of course!

Just one glance of our cat says “A cat in gloves catches no mice”. And we completely agree with him. So we are ready to work as hard as possible despite the surrounding circumstances. Of course, we keep the brand, continue working to improve the quality of our product, raise the common spirit and motivate the team. Everyone knows to get a good work result, you need the best, high-quality, progressive and reliable tools.

Therefore, in January we slightly supplemented and updated the office hardware, so we bought:

• - 7pcs Apple MacBook PRO 14 based on M1 PRO (Late 2022)
• - 12pcs monitors 4K LG 27UL850
• - Test devices Apple iPhones, Apple iPads, Android phones and tablets
• - All extras needed for +7 fully equipped new workspaces.

But that's not all! Furthermore, in February, a new K4 office will be opened (it's our 4th office in Kyiv).

And we invite new guys to join our team.
Send your applications to hr@abz.agency

Today we will share with you the news and atmosphere from our office in Tallinn. Despite the common perception of Estonia as a calm and steady place, which is associated with calmness, regularity and even some unhurriedness, in our company the team works in “Fast and furious” mode (as evidenced by the office's racing car in the photo).

We are ready to expand our "abz working family" in Estonia and welcome new guys. So, we invite:

• - Web Designer
• - QA engineer
• - Front-end developer

All interested can contact hr@abz.agency to find out all the details.

It's hard to believe that two years have already passed since our colleagues joined our team at abz.agency. To celebrate this milestone, we decided to congratulate both individuals on the same day.

We wanted to make sure that each of them received a special gift that they had been wanting. One received a pair of Xbox wireless headphones and the other received a Krups capsule coffee machine with a capsule test kit. We are thrilled to have them on our team and look forward to many more years of working together. Congratulations to both of you!

At abz.agency, we place a high value on our team members and strive to cultivate lasting relationships, both within our organization and with our clients. We are always looking for talented individuals to join our team, if you are interested contact us on hr@abz.agency

We are excited to announce a new fluffy addition to our team! Although he may still be a junior member, he is already making his presence known with his diligent attendance of all meetings and stand-ups. He can often be found purring approvingly as he lounges beside the speaker. So, everyone is happy to share all their knowledge.

Our office manager found him on a cold winter day warming up under her car in the parking lot outside the office and with the approval of management, we were able to welcome him into our office. We quickly provided all the necessary supplies and our team members even brought in some fun toys for him to play with. We're excited to have him as part of our team from now on!

We gave him a nostalgic name which means a small piece of charcoal which is the same as the name of the Donetsk-Kyiv passenger train which is symbolic of connection to our roots.

Presents are always nice to receive and it is even more pleasant to receive them from our clients. We would like to thank the client "Invest" (project under NDA) for a nice gift and attention during these holidays.

We are always pleased to collaborate with you! I would especially like to thank you for staying with us during these difficult times for our country. We, in turn, do our best to always ensure stable and high-quality work!

We are continuing to invest in the capacity of our backup power supply to ensure that our offices remain well-equipped and comfortable for our guys regardless of rolling blackouts. Some of the updates we have made include:

• - Installing a PPS EcoFlow Delta MAX 2000 in office K1
• - Adding a gasoline generator for 8 kW in office K1
• - Implementing dedicated backup office wiring for PPS in both office K1 and K2
• - Adding a PPS EcoFlow Delta in office K2
• - Installing StarLink backup connection in office K2

We are dedicated to maintaining a warm, well-lit, and internet-connected workspace for our team and the benefit of our clients. If you are interested in joining our team, please reach out to hr@abz.agency.

As the holiday season approaches, our team at abz.agency would like to extend our warmest wishes to all of our valued clients. We are grateful for the opportunity to work with you throughout the year, and appreciate the trust you have placed in us.

This year brought us a lot of challenges, but we are grateful for the opportunity to work with such dedicated and supportive clients. Your collaboration and understanding has helped us overcome these challenges and continue to deliver high-quality web development services.

As we look ahead to the new year, we are excited to continue partnering with you to bring your web development projects to life. Thank you for being a part of our journey, and we wish you and your loved ones a very Merry Christmas and a happy and prosperous new year.

We hope that the holiday season brings you joy, peace, and plenty of time to relax and recharge. We look forward to continuing to work with you and helping you achieve your goals in the new year.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from all of us at abz.agency!

Congratulations to one of our PMs on their 3 year anniversary with abz.agency! We are grateful to have such a dedicated and hardworking team member as part of our organization.

Thank you for your contributions to our team and for your ability to navigate complex tasks and turn client's thoughts into clear and concise project requirements. Here's to many more years of success and achievement of all set goals. As a token of our appreciation, we gifted you with a pair of AirPods Pro 2. Wishing you continued good health and prosperity.

We are looking for strong middle and senior node.js developers specifically for a cool and challenging, but stable long term project running for over 3 years since 2019. You will be working with huge traffic volumes and vast amounts of data. This project would be your prime opportunity to develop unique skills adjacent to data processing and analytics. Be ready to brainstorm and solve challenging issues in a dynamic environment with a team of like minded people.

We will gladly welcome both Kyiv as well as Tallinn based developers into our comfortable and well placed offices. We arrange everything necessary so you can focus on the project without any disruptions from all necessary hardware, facilities, snacks to batteries, generators and reserve connection as needed.

Sounds great? Contact hr@abz.agency to join us!

Our K3 Office (3rd office in Kyiv) has started planned renovations this week which should be complete by Christmas. We will be maintaining the same Loft style that we use in all our offices. Location is within a comfortable 7 minute walk distance from the metro station Tarasa Shevchenko in a warm and cozy business center (2019 construction). Magnetic passes at the entrance with security, multiple elevators and big windows.

Do you want to work with us in a fresh office? Then send us a letter at hr@abz.agency right away. We will be happy to see you!

Last week, we bought a gasoline generator for our K1 office (Kyiv) to ensure steady operation regardless of circumstance. Our foreman invited electricians and they rewired our electrical panel to include an automatic generator/city switch for electricity.

Now we have a specific algorithm for blackouts:

• - When there is no electricity for a relatively short time, first we use EcoFlow battery and a dedicated optic cable internet provider which works during most outages.
• - If there is no electricity for more than 4 hours, we connect the generator and StarLink as a reserve option.

  We have all bases covered, so we can work without any disruptions both during scheduled 2-4 hour rolling blackouts or autonomously by alternating between using EcoFlow battery and a generator to power the office and charge the EcoFlow battery.

  There are no emergencies for us, just organizational issues to solve so we can continue our work on schedule.

This week, we were celebrating the 3 year anniversary of joining abz.agency for one of our backend developers. He received gifts which will enhance his comfort at home: Apple Home Pod and ergonomic office chair.

Thank you for being a great part of our team! We wish you joy in both personal and work life! We join all the wishes from colleagues and hope that they will all come true in the near future and we will see it happening!

With each week we are more prepared to rolling blackouts which became a part of routine for us. This week we’ve added even more hardware updates which help mitigate impacts on our productivity.

Today we equipped our K1 office with:

• - EcoFlow PRO high capacity batteries
• - Wired fiber optic provider internet provider which works even when there is no electricity
• - Starlink as a reserve option to ensure our 100% availability
• - Master electricians installed electrical wiring for lighting and sockets directly from EcoFlow batteries
• - On Friday, the same will be done for K2 office

On 8th of November we will be celebrating the 17th anniversary of our founding! 🔥 🎁 🎂 We remember Financial crisis of 2008, War in Donbass of 2014, War in Ukraine of 2022 but we continued to work and provide quality services no matter the situation. We pay stable and predictable pay for our team and do everything to develop them both professionally and personally. We do all of this and more for our clients!

With us you can always count on stability and quality! Come and see for yourself 😀

We wish everyone a happy halloween 🎃🎃🎃! We already thematically decorated our offices for an extra spooky atmosphere. Frequent rolling blackouts this week also helped to add spookiness, but we fight darkness with organization.

Our clients ask us how we deal with blackouts and other unpredictable situations in a way that they feel no difference at all while working with us. The answer is simple, but challenging for many companies:  preparation and reinvestment in all necessary hardware. We work only on MacBook PRO, their battery is enough for 6-10 hours, we also distribute LTE via mobile hotspots in an organized manner, so the only inconvenience is that the guys do not have an opportunity to make coffee : )

USPS has the motto: “Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds.” our version for this year would sound like this “Neither financial crisis, nor threat of war or total blackouts will prevent us from delivering your project on time and with the required quality.”

If you want a stable outsourcing partner who you can always rely on, just send an email to info@abz.agency and our client managers will be happy to walk you through all the steps to start.

Solid foundation is necessary if you want to build any complex structure, for our team company regulations are that foundation upon which we stand. For all the time that we were working with our clients we constantly improved our regulations to always fit the changing environment and incorporate the whole sum of company experience which constantly grows.

Last iteration of our organizational regulations was introduced this September and now we are actively working on updating our technical regulations and internship plans. If you want to feel our structuring Influence on your project we are waiting for your ideas at info@abz.agency

Yesterday, at our weekly meeting with PMs and the company management, it was announced that our Kyiv offices had physically run out of space for new guys. So, the management plans to open a 3rd office in Kyiv and considering the location of the other two offices, it would be convenient to cover the 3rd part of Kyiv.

Previously, offices in Kyiv were opened on the left and right banks of the Dnieper. Office 3 will be on the right bank of the Dnieper, but will be geographically shifted further from another one to make it more convenient for some of the guys. Kyiv is a big city and if you can reduce the daily commute from 1-1.5 hours to 15-30 minutes for guys, this is a huge bonus.

We still have spots open in Tallinn, so the HR department won't have an opportunity to rest yet ;)

Would you like to work with TOP technical stack? Would you like to learn from colleagues with broad expertise? Do you want to get off the treadmill and develop your skills? So, complete the test task, pass a couple of interviews then go through a month traineeship period and you’ll open the door to new opportunities. It is not going to be easy, we require guys to work hard and develop their skills at a fast pace.

According to our recruitment plan for October we are looking to hire:

• - Backend developer (PHP Laravel) - 2 opening
• - Front-end developer (React, Vue) - 2 openings
• - Backend developer (Node.js) - 1 opening
• - QA engineer - 2 opening
• - PM - 1 opening

We are waiting for you hr@abz.agency

This week we implemented sweeping changes to the organizational structure of our company by overhauling and streamlining internal company regulation documents and introducing the Lead PM positions. These changes are focused on building more adaptable structures which we can scale further while growing and hiring new people.

Our main principle and core objective stays the same: to deliver projects on time and with the required quality. In addition to that new changes focus on client’s comfort while working with us and proper crisis management in unpredictable situations.

You can be sure that if any external problem arises our team will do everything possible to solve the problem and keep you updated until it's resolved. If you want to be always confident that your project is in safe hands, just send an email to info@abz.agency and our client managers will be happy to help you get started.

In the past we have had successful iOS and Android app development branches, but due to drop in wider demand for app development we ultimately decided to close them down. However, some of our dedicated long term clients wanted to keep all of their development efforts with us and needed to spread their offering both to Android Play Store and iOS App store.

After research we found that React Native fits best for this task: it allows us to develop native apps for both iOS and Android based on a single JavaScript codebase (we can even reuse some parts of the code from the front-end part of the website). This allowed us to quickly close this gap in projects where it was necessary while being lean and flexible as a company.

Currently we are actively expanding our React Native development capabilities by improving our frontend developers skill sets. We’ve developed a set of individual tasks within our PDP (Personal Development Plan) program. Developer, who completes all tasks, acquires all necessary skills to bridge the differences between working with React.js for web development and React Native development.

If you have a multiplatform idea we will be glad to help you bring it to life, just send an email to info@abz.agency and our client managers will be happy to help you get started.

This week in our T1 (Tallinn) office we celebrated the 4th anniversary of our Lead PM joining our company. He received a small but very fun gift of a DJI Mini 2 quad copter.

We are truly grateful for all your work! There were many difficulties on your way, but a smile, enthusiasm and perseverance allowed you to find the strength in yourself, while remaining a gentle and pleasant person. We wish you less ASAP moments in your work and personal life ;)

Last Saturday, we all met at the K1 office which is our left bank Kyiv office. Everyone arrived at an agreed time by 11 a.m. and the office manager quickly distributed tasks among the team. Everyone received a pair of gloves, a rag, detergent and a respirator. We turned on the music and got into cleaning.

Walls were wiped from the dust that had accumulated over time. All surfaces were dusted: cabinets, shelves, tables, appliances, etc. Other guys were painting the walls to freshen up the white paint. Then the team split up. Some of the guys went to wash the huge panoramic windows, but don't worry the office is on the first floor. The second team started cleaning the floor. We all took a break together and shared hot pizza! Around 6 pm, the work was done. Thanks to all the guys who came to help with the office voluntarily and build stronger bonds. The office shines more than ever!

At the end I heard a reply from one of the girls on our team: "You are welcome, but we did it for ourselves." These are the best words that summarize an idea of subbotnik which is a tradition of voluntary work for yourself and community. Our CEO believes that there is no better team building than working together with everyone. We do everything with utmost attention to quality, even washing the floor ;)

As per our recruitment plan for September we are looking to hire:

• - Data analyst - 1 opening
• - Front-end developer (React, Vue) - 3-5 openings
• - QA engineer - 1 opening

Join us and work with a cutting edge top tech stack and learn from colleagues with years of broad expertise.

All you need to do is complete the test task, pass a couple of interviews and complete a month of intensive paid internship. It won’t be easy but at the end of internship you will surely feel like you’ve reached a new level.

If you are up to the task you can find more information here: https://abz.agency/team-and-careers/

We focus on developing complete projects exactly according to PRD and mockups from start to finish. More details here https://abz.agency/product-requirement-document/

It’s nice when the upper management works closely with the team to solve any ongoing issues. Let me tell you a short story.

A year has passed since we moved to a large and beautiful loft-style office on the left bank of the Dnieper in Kyiv. At that time our CEO has designed and implemented his own office in a spacious room, with floor-to-ceiling panoramic windows.

Now two offices in Kyiv have run out of space to accommodate our constantly growing team. Today we had a meeting discussing how we can solve this. Our CEO gathered all the project managers and the office manager to show a solution: an updated 3D model of his personal office with 6 comfortable workplaces. In the meantime he will move to work in a small, modest warehouse.

This is how management should always act:

• - Be with the team.
• - Work directly with guys.
• - Always be one message away from clients.

Interested in trying to work with us?  Just send an email to info@abz.agency and our client managers will be happy to consult you.

Tallinn. Office started.

How can we become closer to the EU? Working directly in the EU is the answer :)

We are pleased to announce that our first office is already up and running and today is the third workday in it for 5 of our guys that are trailblazing a new location.

We are actively expanding our team both in Tallinn as well as Kyiv to accommodate ever growing demand from our clients who need more resources for their groundbreaking projects.

Tallinn, Estonia. Our new office “T1”. Located downtown, in the business center. Soon it will be ready to accommodate 12 comfortable workspaces with 2 additional rooms for meetings and recreation. It has a big kitchen and a bar counter that can be used for relaxation, meetings, lunches or by its primary purpose : )

We just received the keys to the office. The team works on necessary supplies, contracts and other things while our CEO as always works on the interior design and 3D modeling. We are all full of anticipation and busy with the whole process of opening a new office. When everything is ready, we will share a p
