In case you missed it: Avangate just turned 5 – Happy Birthday, Avangate! :)
With this in mind and with a strong desire to unwind, we left the office and went for 3 days to the quiet town of Săcele, in the heart of Romania, close to the mountains.
Apart from enjoying the glorious scenery, we did a lot of fun activities to help us bond and discover new ways to put into practice the company values.
We also discovered the artist within. For 4 full hours we went back school, this time to to the art and craft classes. A very special moment. We basically painted a huge picture split in several pieces. Imagine a large room full of people working frantically, ingeniously mixing colors, and making sure they are consistent across the board (difficult task!), and let’s not forget also the personal touch. The outcome was spectacular as you can see below:
Since the team building took place in the last days of October, we also had a Halloween party – “Jack the Ripper”, “Count Dracula” and “Grim Reaper” are just a few characters who landed among us that night. I think the words “Innovation”, “Fun” and “People” are enough for you to get an idea of what happened there. The photos on Flickr prove this 100%:
To wrap this up – we are a happy bunch, proud to stand by our company values, which BTW we actually helped choose, so they do reflect who we really are: people respecting people, embracing excellence and innovation to the customer’s satisfaction.
And we really enjoy these weekends together:). So, how was your Halloween?
