Poland, Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia are part of the Eastern Europe region with a stable investment climate. Businesses are more cost-effective than other European countries because of local government support. The absence of migration barriers and efficient immigration processes allow employees to easily move from other locations. If you are from Minsk, Belarus or Kyiv, Ukraine, relocation is also convenient because of proximity.
What our members say
Denis Bykovskyi became part of our team in April 2020.
“After the events in Ukraine, I decided to move to Poland where I graduated in Lublin and started an IT career in Wroclaw.
There is no discrimination in CGI and I belong in a friendly team that respects and supports my efforts. We receive several benefits and participate in trainings, where I can develop and gain new knowledge. Your career growth depends on your drive and performance, and CGI is there to help you move up your own ladder."
Mariia Romaniv’s journey with CGI started in February 2021.
“Although I am a veterinarian by education, I have always wanted to work in the IT industry. I moved to Poland because it is very close to Ukraine and to pursue that dream.
I finished the IT Academy in Wroclaw and worked for a company that later became part of the CGI family. Since joining CGI, I have received several benefits, a competitive salary and most importantly, a pleasant working experience where I can grow professionally.”
Volodymyr Ivashchenko has been a member of the CGI team since September 2014.
“My children inspired me to move to Poland. I wanted to provide them with European education, security and a stable future. CGI helped me with all requirements, from the start to the end of my relocation.
For seven years, I have been working at CGI and continue to enjoy the culture and environment. You can always learn something new and develop yourself while working. We are also entitled to a tax break for our “creative work”, which is highly motivating."
Mykola Kryvych has been working at CGI since May 2021, and has been living in Poland since 2014.
“The political and economic situation in Ukraine forced me to leave the country. For our safety and comfort, I moved to Poland with my family. I chose Poland because it is close to Ukraine, but also because I wanted to work in Europe.
After working for several firms in Krakow, I applied in CGI. And although my career in CGI has just started, I can already say that this company values its employees and promotes work-life balance."
Maksym Vikarii
has been working at CGI in Latvia since November 2018.
“I finished a degree in chemistry but shifted to a career in IT. I completed IT courses in Dnipro, then started working in Latvia.
Deciding where to work was a challenge since I did not know what’s in store for me, but I took the chance and I do not regret it. The standard of living in Latvia is better where I’m from. It is calm and safe here, and the serene Baltic Sea is very close.
When I relocated to Latvia, CGI supported me with all the necessary documents. I am happy to work here not only because of the good salary, but also because of the mentorship I receive. Most of my managers are women and everyone is valued and respected, regardless of race and gender."
As a growing, global business, there are bags of opportunity at CGI. I have had the opportunity to work across a wide variety of sectors during my time here, bringing the latest technology to clients, addressing real business needs. There is also a genuine commitment to share ideas and knowledge between members. The culture here is like no other.
CGI works hard to support women in tech. For example, we’ve set up a support network where women can talk about developments in the industry, and where they can connect with leaders across the business. We’re actively involved in industry events that promote women in IT and engineering. From personal experience, I know that CGI has supported my own career development every step of the way.
“Now is the time to join this dynamic team as we need to double our capacity and satisfy our growing client demand globally,” shares Izabela Niewirowska, Director of Human Resources at CGI in Poland, Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia
