Our story

What our team members say about Ivy Tech

"I am a Marketing Coordinator at Ivy Tech. Despite a fully remote model, the company fosters a supportive work environment where creativity and innovation are encouraged.
Secret fact: my shortest recruitment journey has been with them. One-week timeframe between our first email touch and the offer. It is solid proof that Ivy’s recruitment team is highly professional, and their processes are well optimised and polished.
I admire how Ivy always commits to staying ahead in the industry. Except for growth opportunities, I find the company policies and supportive management a great contribution to my remote work-life balance and job satisfaction!"
Iryna Hresko
Iryna HreskoMarketing Coordinator
"Ivy Ivy Tech has literally been my career stepping stone. I came here in January 2018 as a front end developer. The company was interested in my growth and assigned me a project with developers who mentored me. Cosy office. Great people who are always ready to help. Reasonable and cool management. They give you good equipment, if you need it, they will buy a new one or improve the old one, everything to make you feel comfortable at work. I am so happy that Ivy Tech is my very first company. I highly recommend it to everyone!"
Vladyslav LinnykEngineer Typescript/Node.js
"I have been working for Ivy Tech remotely since February 2021. The company takes care of remote employees - provides equipment, communicates regularly, and warmly welcomes everyone in the office."
Oleksandr DudenkoPython Developer
"After almost three years of remote work with Ivy Tech, I can give positive feedback only. The atmosphere is brilliant, the processes are straightforward and efficient, and there is 0% bureaucracy, so I can 100% focus on my work."
Andriy ChumaAngular Developer
"I have been working for the company for a year now. Overall, I'm happy - excellent management, minimum bureaucracy, everything is super flexible. If you need to work from an office, they have a great one."
Zakhar PortianovSenior Software Engineer
"I joined the company in April 2021 with no IT background as a junior recruiter. And in almost three years, I became a Senior Ops Manager. The company provided all the opportunities for growth, skills and expertise development. Great management, always flexible in decisions, and ready to help. Very warm and pleasing atmosphere with colleagues."
