What level of education do your software developers usually have?

All our software developers are graduates from or students in computer science and systems engineering departments of Romanian universities/colleges. All of them are well educated, creative, and goal driven specialists.

How would you describe your staff's fluency in English?

To be offered a software development position in the company, a candidate must meet our standards of English proficiency. The job interview includes an oral interview held in English and it is conducted by specialists with an excellent track record. Our staff has high standards of English proficiency, with very few exceptions. Employees with acceptable English skills will receive help from other staff members , until they reach the desired level.

How do you group your personnel according to their experience?

Based on experience and efficiency, we have split our personnel into the following main categories:

• Experienced juniors: employees who have completed the ASSIST probation test and are ready to do programming tasks for real-life projects;




• Developers: specialists with comprehensive work experience and skills. We do not regard the number of years as the key factor in promoting a developer from junior to developer, but rather the depth of expertise, the results achieved and the professionalism shown while working on ASSIST projects;




• Senior developers: specialists that have both a broad expertise and leadership skills. It is from this group that we select team leaders, project managers and architects. There is no limit as to the minimum number of years a developer has to spend at the mid level before becoming a senior. A star developer can reach this status in 2 years, while the average one might need 7 years.
