Before joining Netcompany, I never imagined going to workshops could be this exciting and rewarding.
I have previously shared stories about the workshops I attended on my blog, but I feel compelled to introduce and "brag" about them once again — that these workshops are completely free, just one of the dozens of amazing perks my company, Netcompany, provides for its employees.
Truly a wonderful and inspiring company culture.
Being "free" here doesn't stop at the entrance ticket; it covers the entire end-to-end experience: you are always generously treated to cakes, drinks, and snacks of all kinds to stay fully energized.
All materials, tools, and supplies are meticulously prepared from A to Z, waiting for you to simply step in and start creating!
You are fully reimbursed for travel expenses to and from the workshop venue.
You get dozens of top-notch, candid photos taken by dedicated photographers.
You enjoy relaxing quality time connecting and chatting with colleagues outside of work.
You bring home one-of-a-kind "trophies" (your handmade workshop creations) as souvenirs.
And most importantly, you gain brand new experiences that you might never have thought of or had the chance to try before.
At Netcompany, you always have the "choice" to join any extracurricular activity via our After Dark clubs. Whatever your taste or hobby, there is a community waiting for you. Personally, I am deeply drawn to indoor, hands-on crafting workshops that produce tangible keepsakes. I have to say that every single event organized by our colleagues and clubs is exceptionally well-structured, professional, and enriching.
Before joining Netcompany, my concept of workshops was a solid round zero — I thought they were overpriced and uninteresting. But from the moment I attended my very first one, my perspective completely flipped. It's just like how I used to wonder why people would pay money and exhaust themselves running marathons, until I laced up my own shoes and ran one. Everything exists for a reason; we simply need the right experience to appreciate it.
These are just a few of the many workshops I've participated in, and every single time was thoroughly rewarding and delightful!
While I am a hardcore fan of indoor artisan workshops, many colleagues thrive on energetic outdoor adventures: running, cycling, mountain climbing, basketball... while others love relaxing board game nights and karaoke sessions.
It is an undeniable fact that Netcompany offers perks that are hard to find elsewhere: from the people and scale to the thoughtful execution. It gets addictive — whenever the After Dark channel pings with a new announcement, you have to act fast because slots fill up in the blink of an eye!
Let's take a quick look back at some memorable moments from the workshops I've shared :D
And the main protagonist of this workshop is, once again... me! :D
I was initially pretty pleased with my creation, until I took a walk around the room and realized: everyone here was a secret master artist, and I was just an ordinary participant having fun :))
A pleasant evening in exchange for a handmade keepsake, a bunch of great photos, and most importantly, a full tank of positive energy before starting a new work week.
Thank you all for reading, and see you at the next After Dark workshop!
