Company's Life Credo:

  • Strategy without tactics is the longest way to victory.
  • Tactics without strategy is fuss before defeat.
  • We don't worry about what others think of us.
  • We don't read comments about ourselves on the internet.
  • Decision making: When faced with the unexpected and incomprehensible, step back for a while.
  • Interacting with people: One of the hardest things in the world is to leave a person to themselves.
  • About leaders: Everything a smart leader does is invisible.
  • About working conditions: A mighty oak doesn't grow in a greenhouse.
  • About details: Details are not decisive. They decide everything.
  • Attitude to discipline: Discipline is doing what you don't like.
  • To colleagues: There are no irreplaceable people, but there are unique ones.
  • Evaluating people: Too many people judge others by appearance.
  • Hobbies: There are many. It's very bad that life is short and we won't have time to touch everything we like.
  • About difficulties: If we encounter obstacles on our path, we try to overcome them.
  • Attitude towards competitors: Calm. After all, the one who angers you controls you.
  • The danger of "star disease": The sense of self-importance is the main and most powerful of our enemies.

OPEN UP – we are open for cooperation!
