Welcome week

Thereafter comes your first task, when you have to prepare your workstation by setting up your local environment. Don’t worry, you will not be alone in that.
This introductory period will provide you with an overview of Sirma’s organizational structure, services, products, clients and software development approach and prepare you to become a member of our delivery teams.
