Why we love working from the office

While technology makes remote work more and more feasible, we found several reasons why working from the office is better for our team and for our clients.

If working from the office is managed correctly, it can provide several benefits, in this article we are going to show you which one they are  …

Challenges we face

Additional costs of the office

We tried to minimize the overhead, but we don't want to save money on comfort because it reflects on our developer's productiveness.

The commute

Most of our developers have to commute to come to the office. To minimize commute time, we have three offices in different locations. But the commute will always exist in order to work from the office, so we can take advantage of that and draw a firm line between home and office or company and family.

Benefits for A-team

The connection between team members

By working in an office, it's obviously more likely to meet your coworkers. You can meet them face-to-face, connect with them on a personal level and even become friends with them. And this is how you can build better lines of communications.

Working in privacy

We have quiet offices so people can work in peace without distractions. Having your working space is a great way to get work done within the shortest period of time.   

Work-life balance

Working from the office gives our developers opportunity to learn how to manage tasks in a timely manner to be most productive during their working hours. As a result, they can relax after work, not think about what it's left to do at work and spend a quality time with their families.

Collaborations with others  

Our developers are always surrounded by people with different capabilities and type of knowledge, that's why your knowledge in various areas will expand as well. Developers learn something new on a regular basis, and everyone is happy to share their knowledge between peers.

Creativity

Working from an office gives developers the opportunity to build new ideas and learn a different kind of techniques, methods, and approaches, especially in an environment that is so full of challenges.

No technical issues

The burden of technical issues is not on their shoulders. There is no need to worry about replacing a broken laptop or a lousy WiFi because working in an office gives them the advantage of accessing all technological necessities needed.

Bonus: Free coffee and snacks

Probably they have a coffee and food at home as well, but is there a greater joy than to get it for free and having someone to share it with? Human interaction is essential to our lives, a little chat here and there can make a big difference when it comes to our wellbeing. Coffee tastes the best with a spoon of sugar and a dash of conversation.

Being part of A-team

Being part of a group of people such as A-team is great for self-esteem, confidence and it can boost their motivation. We are embracing company culture, so we encourage teamwork and having fun as well.

Benefits for clients

Not one, but more than 20. Even if the client hires one developer, they get a collective knowledge of more than 20 people, because we all collaborate when needed.

Company management is looking over the projects and immediately help the developers if help is needed, so the client doesn't need to worry about quality and productivity.

Management is closer to the client when developers are in the same office. The communication is smoother because we understand projects first hand. If there are any issues, they can be resolved faster and better.

The client can be assured developers have management looking over them (in a good way). By involving management we take care of our developers in the best possible manner and also act as a buffer in case of misunderstandings, "conflicts", and by freeing developers from administrative, scheduling and non-technical tasks they can focus solely on development tasks.

That said, we work 100% remotely with our clients. We are used to working with tools and processes that enable us to interact with people on the other side of the planet without any friction. I believe this is a great combination that gives best results for our development team and our clients. Feel free to reach out to learn how we can help you.
