Frequently Asked Questions

• Historically, Ukraine can boast of great technical education and a vast number of Universities training students to become skilled programmers
• Ukrainian IT companies have been in the outsourcing business for quite a long time. This means there are a significant number of experienced experts who have participated in large and complex projects
• A high level of English and a work culture similar to the Western one make it possible to overcome communication barriers between the remote dedicated team and the core team
• It is worth mentioning that Ukraine has a rather advanced IT market and developers have been involved in solid international projects, so you should not expect them to be extremely low-cost.But if you compare the quality and speed of work with the anticipated cost - it's easy to see that it is a really cost-effective solution

Currently more than 100,000 IT professionals are working in more than 3,000 IT companies in Ukraine. This total encompasses developers, QAs and testers, designers, project and product managers, business analysts and other representatives of the IT industry. About half of these experts are developers, which gives us 50,000 to 55,000 experts making up the developers’ community in Ukraine, which, like in any country, has its own unique face.

Both options are possible. Having whole team work in one place (office) is simplier from comunication perspective, but it normally takes more time to onboard such team, since all developers should live in one town.

Ukrainian citizens can stay in Switzerland up to 3 monthes in half a year without visas, which is obviously enought for running some introductional and onboarding meetings onsite or, so called, "Zero" sprint. Longer stay requires work permit.

The vast majority of technical experts live in Kiev, as it is the capital – the biggest city with all the attractive features, like the highest salaries and the largest number and variety of software engineering jobs. The second largest center is Kharkiv, and this should come as no surprise considering the number of educational establishments and the long history of engineering science and high-tech manufacturing in this city. Amongst the cities with the largest number of developers and other IT experts are Lviv, then Dnipro and Odessa. Vinnytsia is sixth in the list of cities where a large pool of IT talents reside and work.
