How do we work and how is your work valued?

We currently work in a mixed home-office and in-person system. Most of our colleagues spend about 50% of their time at home and 50% in our welcoming office at Maros utca 12.
Working hours are flexible and partial home office was already a thing before the pandemic at Engame Academy. At the same time, it’s important to note that, as most of our students are high-school students, they can only attend our program in the afternoons and on Saturdays. As a result, most of the teaching team’s contact hours are: weekdays between 3pm and 7pm and Saturdays between 10am to 5pm.
We use Lenovo Thinkpad X series business category laptops and our office has a strong wifi network and all the things we need to work efficiently.
We believe in transparency, so we have a fully transparent salary system, where everybody knows how much the others make. Salaries are set based on the experience of the employee and his/her responsibilities that come with the position.
