Our values are results, responsibility, simplicity and joy.

We create great results for our customers and each other. Success means solving real problems, building a product and company we're proud of, and making a difference.
Responsibility
We own our work. We aim for individual responsibility. You have the freedom to make decisions and the responsibility to deliver—without micromanagement or unnecessary hierarchy.
Simplicity
We keep it simple. In our product and our culture. Simple beats complicated. It helps us move faster, decide quicker, and make integration accessible to everyone.
Joy
We bring joy. You can be yourself—no corporate masks required. When people enjoy what they do and who they work with, good things happen.
What do we promise to our employees?
First, we work with meaningful integrations. Integrations run the world. We make sure that the data flow and people can live care-free life every day.
Secondly, we have our own integration platform Frends iPaaS. Frends solves the digitalization challenges of both global and smaller customers and various industries in the private and public sectors.
There are many advantages when using own product: the product development team is close and responsive. As a result, development is fast, and you get help quickly with any challenges. With us, you also get to see the development of the modern enterprise iPaaS platform from various angles.
The most important thing for us is our people - Frendzies. The employees are at the center of Frendszone. We want to develop our people and our genuinely good atmosphere and invest in our people's happiness. We work in our own teams, which increases the team spirit. We trust our experts - responsibility, freedom, and flexibility are the cornerstones of our culture.
On top of this all, we are a stable, profitable, growing, and internationalizing company.
Growth, of course, brings new customers both in the local and international market, leading us to interesting and meaningful new projects where one can develop their skills and help our clients create modern digital solutions. With us, you get to evolve and develop further. Growth is sustainable, stable, and therefore profitable. Growth keeps us modern, dynamic, and evolving!
What does the Frendzies have to say about us?
The most valued things in our employee satisfaction surveys are
- professional and humorous colleagues,
- the intense feeling of togetherness, and
- work flexibility, where different life situations are also taken into account.
Work itself is challenging in just the right way, and the tasks and technologies vary enough but not too much. Our employees value the meaningfulness of work: developers' handcrafted APIs enable fancy mobile apps, and hyperautomation obliterates monotonous, repetitive tasks from someone's workday.
“The best part is that we have an outstanding team spirit, and the hierarchy is low for real. This makes work smooth, and you can influence your work.”
”Skilled co–workers and a relaxed, sparring team around.”
”A free atmosphere to ask questions and be yourself.”
“Employees are trusted - here you get responsibility and freedom to express yourself.”
”Flexible working hours & location.” ”Flexibility in different life situations.” ”Really a family–friendly workplace.”
”Work is done in small teams, which increases the team spirit.”
”On the integration side, interfaces and technologies are constantly evolving and changing, which means that you can constantly explore and learn new things and deepen your skills.”
”REST API hype has been going around a lot, but with us, you truly get to develop Open APIs to customer systems.”
“While Frends is geared towards quick and easy development, sometimes custom features can be used to make custom C# code.”
