“RPCOM has all the perks of a big company, paid leave, medical coverage etc. But in the same time it doesn’t feel like we are working for a corporation either, there’s a lot of informal fun and socializing. We often go on holidays and outings together. We also have a special company holiday called Zhar-Ptitsa, it’s great fun, last time I worked there as a photographer.”

“I love it when one’s job allows one to persevere in one’s hobbies. I am a pretty sociable guy, I like to be open to new things too, working on getting new skills and developing one’s character. So my job is perfect for that and being into sports I enjoy playing soccer for our company’s team. Success at work and on the soccer field is like an adrenaline rush making my life more colorful and energizing it with this kind of positive feedback.”

“Our company is famous for its career-building opportunities, from the lowest step to the top. One is just required to be really interested in one’s work and people around one. I came to work for RPCOM in 200 and started as a senior storekeeper. And less than a decade later here I am managing our two great Italian restaurants…”

“I am very glad I became a chef of a beer restaurant! It’s nice to see all your hard work appreciated – this is a wonderful incentive. And this year I got “The Best Chef 2008” award too! But it’s also very important to me that I like girls and guys I work with. We get together really well, we are a great team!”

“My job is really great because it allows me to continue my graduate studies. When I just started it I thought that that was the main point. But now I am happy with my job because it’s great fun too and loads of experience that I will sure need later on. Not to mention that I also became the best waiter 2008 of Kolbasoff restaurant chain. That was totally cool!”

“I do appreciate being in a position to learn from my senior colleagues. Professionalism in our company is simply amazing and the best thing is that given these conditions almost anyone if hard-working enough may become a high-class specialist. Many perks too – lots of opportunities to develop one’s other interests that are not immediately pertinent to one’s work. For instance, I loved trying my hand as an editor of our corporate newspaper, RPCOM News. ”
