Exapro empregos

Being able to work in a company that offers employees the opportunity to grow and learn in a multicultural environment is an eye opener for many who seek to broaden their horizons in today’s society. The company located in Prague, one of the cities that are most welcoming to Expats in Central Europe, differentiates itself from all other workplaces. Colleagues from different parts of the world help create a working place where cultural exchange is constant and motivating.

I am talking about it as the one and only Czech employee in our company. It might sound a bit strange to be the only Czech employee in a company based in Prague, but the truth is that it has countless advantages. Everyday you are in interaction with people from different cultures, learning how to communicate and how to get on well with one another. Working in an international team is giving you overview of differences between cultures, teaching you tolerance and giving you the opportunity to open your mind to the world.

On a daily basis, we are in direct contact with our clients, that are spread around the globe, plus the fact of being part of the international team together create an atmosphere that provides both professional and personal development. Exapro is allowing each team-player to be part of an open-minded organization, always in need of new perspectives. You will be given all the guidance and support necessary to achieve your desired results.

We are a young multicultural team who is looking forward to welcoming newcomers. We can’t wait to have a new colleague who will bring another perspective to our team and teach us something new. Do not be worried you might not be able to communicate with us, all together we are speaking more than 9 languages. One last thing: We guarantee you, you will not forget our team buildings. Join Exapro and you will find more than just colleagues.

Something I really appreciate in Exapro is the fact that I can manage my working day as I wish and according to extra professional activities I have. Usually I’m starting my day at 8:30 am and finishing it at 5:00 pm sometimes it happens that I’m using what we call "flexi hours" (you can start at 10.30 or finish at 15.30).

Generally, the Flexi hour's bonus allows me to start my working day earlier or later, based on my needs. For instance, if I have a doctor’s appointment on Tuesday morning I will arrive to the office half an hour later. In this case, I will stay 30 min longer on the same day, or any other day during the week. Same works the opposite way, if one of the days I stay at the office over-time, later in the week I will use my bonus time to finish earlier.

Another important thing we have in Exapro is the possibility to work from home. According to our performance, we can have up to 10 days of "home office" per month, and trust me once you tried it, it’s difficult to imagine to work without it. You can even combine days off and home office in order to have a longer week-end or to enjoy your holidays a bit longer. The only requirement for that is a good internet connection.

Exapro is putting lots of efforts in order to build and maintain a good relationship between employees and it’s in this context that the management is giving us a budget to organize team buildings like Christmas dinner or even team events (escape room, dinner, beer tasting etc).

Last but not least, if you perform well you can expect to get some vouchers that will allow you to benefit an extra discount in the cinema, theater, shops etc.

I found Exapro job ad on the internet and didn’t hesitate to submit my CV to Darya, the HR, via email. She answered immediately which contributed to a very good first impression. The interview via skype was really cool and not that static and tense like the 'standard' job interviews. This is also what the general feeling in the company is like - young, active and not strict. But let’s start from the very beginning.

My first day was cool and I immediately noticed that my little fears and my nervousness were absolutely without any reason. The team is very young and you can feel the spirit of a start-up-like company everywhere which is a really nice addition.

Everything was set up so that I could start right when I arrived - email account, Skype, logins to internal systems and even an email signature. It was not hard to get into the work steps and Stef was a helpful support for every question so as the rest of the team - all nice and friendly.

Right at the beginning, Thomas, Exapro’s CEO, himself introduced me to the philosophy and mission of Exapro. Hearing that from the company executive felt very special and gave me a lot of motivation from the start. During my first days, I always had Stefano’s support in managing internal tasks. After the first week, I was much more independent, although I could still reach out to team mates for a piece of advice.

A nice addition to the warm welcome I got were professional trainings I received during my first weeks at Exapro. In my second week in the company I’ve attended some product category trainings for the categories I were to be responsible for. It was highly beneficial since I got a deeper knowledge and understanding of the markets I was taking care of. Although the training system was new to me, I could appreciate how well structured it was. Each training was always supported by Power Point Presentation which made it easier to follow the presenter.

Later on, I had my first team meetings and the company sales meeting. Both were meant to analyze team’s efforts during the previous month and evaluate how successful our attempts were. In my opinion, that is a great style of feedback and also a good motivational tool since we get an overview of how other teams are doing.

The last but not least, right from the start I was able to benefit from the Flexi-time bonus. It really helped me to plan my day and made it possible to stay longer when a task was not finished or to leave work earlier when I had to sort something out outside of the office to keep things balanced.

My first weeks in Exapro just like all the following weeks were a pleasing adventure. I’m very thankful for the opportunity to experience great pleasure of working with young and motivated professionals.
