Team
Employee testimonials
Trifon Statkov
Technical Lead
Stripes is a great place to develop and grow as a professional and leader. The main advantage is the friendly atmosphere and the fact that everyone is completely free to express their opinions with absolutely anyone else, regardless of their place in the organizational hierarchy. We work and succeed together and everyone can have a direct part in achieving the common success.
Todor Marinov
CEO
When you work at Stripes, you are part of a stable and dedicated team, where every member can rely on each other, take responsibility for the overall solution of difficult technical and business problems directly for our clients, challenge themselves and their colleagues to grow and develop together, develop an extremely broad aspect of skills - technical, business, communication, emotional intelligence, get freedom and take responsibility for different aspects in the development of the company.
Lyuboslav Pirsafov
Team Lead
Stripes is a nice place to develop technical and social skills. In the company, it is possible to start as a junior developer and work your way up the ladder to team lead or technical lead. The company gives freedom of action and supports any opinion that would be useful for the project you are working on. The atmosphere is always friendly and enjoyable to work in. Communication is easy and pleasant, which contributes to a better mood during daily tasks.
Toan van Duuven
Front Office and Outsource Manager
Working at ICT Strypes is very enjoyable, inspiring and meaningful for me. Everyone in the company is seen as a valuable contributor to its success. There is an enjoyable culture where teamwork and job satisfaction are paramount and where creativity, innovation and enterprise are encouraged. I really love my job at ICT Strypes.
Ioana Kalfinova
New Business and Development Manager
The atmosphere at ICT Strypes is professional but not corporate, rather friendly. I enjoy the fact that the company supports and assists its employees' extra-work initiatives - sports ones, as in my case. We also have an internal Charity Club through which we support various charitable causes!
Kalin Varbanov
Group Manager
As someone who manages a team, I can safely say that for ICT Strypes (and for me), people are the most important. We give young and new IT professionals the opportunity to excel, upgrade their skills and progress their career (and beyond).
Krikor Arakelyan
Junior Developer
I got into ICT Strypes after going through their free Strypes Lab training. The courses themselves are intensive but very well structured. After graduating I was offered a job and am now part of the team as a Junior Developer. I like my job, but I also like the out-of-work initiatives we organise, even in the office - office parties, get-togethers with colleagues, charity lunches and more!
