Covid-19 times vs Playson

What does it mean for newcomers in Playson?
🔹We hire employees for full-time remote work from all over Ukraine.
🔹In case you decide to work remotely forever — it is totally fine with us.
🔹In case you decide to work in our office in Kyiv or occasionally visit it- great news! We have renovated and transformed it to a co-working style so that our employees can have a hybrid choice of work-mode ( mixing work at home and in the office just for a change)
🔹During pandemic times we make sure that your first days and weeks in Playson are as convenient as possible:
💻technical equipment is delivered to your home address wherever you are in Ukraine
