Senior Software Developer/ C# Developer, Johannesburg

Why do Java programmers have to wear glasses?

Cause they don't C#.

Anyway..

WHY YOU SHOULD APPLY:

Besides their very own mini penalty shootout, putting a green and cricket pitch smack bang in the middle of their office, they have a very special canteen area where they enjoy company-subsidized meals, barista-crafted coffee, and FIFA console gaming, foosball, and special themed employee get-togethers. Employee wellness, balance, and motivation go hand-in-hand with their work-hard ethos making this a place like no other!

The notion of giving back to local communities holds a very special spot in their core values as they make time to participate in a variety of initiatives throughout the year. Everything from raising money to aid teachers, furry friends, and victims of the unexpected, to blanket drives, books, and clothing collections, they do it all - they have even built housing for families in need! All in all, each initiative is carefully considered, planned, and greatly enjoyed by all employees.
