• The company was established at very high speed during the fall of 2011.

• In December 2011 we took over our first offices in the CBL II building on Lubicz street in Krakow.

• In January 2012 the first programmers started working with us.

• Over the next months we continued to recruit about 5 new programmers each month, soon making us realize we had rented too small offices.

Our historyThe decision to establish Schibsted Tech Polska (STP) was made by the management of Schibsted Norge in August 2011. Schibsted Norge runs Schibsted's companies in Norway. Among them are the subscription newspapers Aftenposten, Bergens Tidende,Stavanger Aftenblad and the single copy newspaper VG.

The original intention was for STP to be part of the digital development for the subscriptions newspapers, working closely together with Schibsted Norge Digital in Oslo.

• In the spring of 2012 several other companies in the Schibsted Media Group requested to set up teams of programmers within STP.

• This led to a new strategy for the company. Our new vision is to be a world-class programming center for companies in the Schibsted Media Group.

• On October 1st 2012 we moved to our current offices in the Avatar office building on Armii Kajowej in Krakow.

• During Spring 2014 an important decision was made to open a new office in Gdańsk.

• June 2014 - first employee starts in Gdańsk office.

• Nowadays Schibsted Tech Polska has two offices, one in Krakow and one in Gdansk. Who knows what will the future bring? :)

The programmers in STP Kraków are organized in teams that work for different partner companies whereas some of the programmers in STP Gdańsk are dynamically assigned to various projects for partners within Schibsted Media Group.

Each team cooperates closely with colleagues from its partner company be it Norway, Sweden, Spain or UK.

Because we work with different partners, STP is involved in a wide range of exciting projects using different technologies.

Free code sharing among Schibsted companies is established as a principle for projects in STP, encouraging synergies between partner teams.

Our way of work

We emphasize open and direct communication in our work culture. Staff are encouraged to ask questions, propose ideas and suggest ways of improving processes.

Work languages are both Polish and English. Polish is used within the team and the company, but all teams also have daily contact in English with colleagues in Scandinavia and other regions.

We have video conference systems set up in both offices to make communication with partners as easy as possible. In addition Skype, Blue Jeans and Google Hangout are used frequently. We use Slack to communicate on daily basis.
