At WITS, you can voice your opinions openly regardless of age, gender, or position. If you have the skills and motivation, even younger employees are given the opportunity to become team leaders or sub-leaders, creating ample growth opportunities.

“Work-Life Balance and a Supportive Environment”
Overtime is minimal, depending on the project, and it’s easy to take paid time off during non-peak periods. Compared to the overall IT industry, WITS has a higher ratio of female employees, whose feedback helps create a supportive and inclusive work environment.

“An Environment That Encourages Growth”
Recently, veteran employees have voluntarily held regular weekend workshops on programming and project management for younger team members. These workshops are well-attended, and employees actively work on improving their skills. It’s a great environment for those eager to grow, and I’ve found it very inspiring.
