Working at Innovecs, I feel that the team, colleagues, and I are treated as individuals with their own interests in the first place.

Svitlana Rumiantseva

I am particularly close to my current team at Innovecs; they are my people. They provide constant feedback, have a strong desire to help, and we share a sense of camaraderie on a daily basis.

Oleksandr Muzhychok

QA Automation

Every day is a new task, a different perspective, the search for keys, new knowledge. Never a dull moment, because everything is changing constantly.

Daria Nesvitailo

Senior Software Engineer

I began my journey as a Game Release Manager, a hybrid QA position that involved communication with operators and suppliers. After a year, I became the Lead of the Game Release team, building a skilled and efficient team from scratch.

Olha Kolomiiets

QA Lead

I like that the company is not indifferent to its employees as individuals. First, we are seen as people. Whereas other companies require time and effort from you to achieve their goals without giving anything in return, Innovecs cares about the emotional state of their people.
