How we work

Today our team includes more than 1,800 people from all over the world, working on high profile Runet and global projects, such as Mail.Ru, ICQ, Odnoklassniki.ru and HeadHunter.

What principles do we follow in our work and why?

People are our core value. We work in one of the world’s fastest growing and most innovative industries, so the importance of hiring talented employees cannot be overestimated. We employ talented professionals and help them to develop their skills and international outlook.

We have absolute confidence in our employees. We hire true professionals and treat them the way the best professionals must be treated. At Mail.Ru Group, employees hit the ground running and immediately face  interesting challenges that allow them to exploit their capabilities. Mail.Ru Group sets ambitious goals for employees right from the start. Team members are given the power and responsibility to develop projects and ensure that they perform effectively.

No red tape. In our industry, you have to be able to respond quickly to new trends and adapt to them. This is why we have no mandatory, tedious kick-off meetings.

We continuously train our employees. We have many top-level specialists who are ready to share their unique experience and knowledge. Each employee is engaged in continuous collaboration with his/her colleagues. These are not only same-level employees in his/her own and neighbouring departments, but also top managers that know all the ins and outs of individual services and actively participate in day-to-day management.

We have an open communication environment. Each employee may share his/her ideas with senior staff and get feedback that may result in the development of a new service or a game. At Mail.Ru Group, the period from the conception of an idea to its implementation may take as little as 15 minutes.

We have a unique working environment. We offer our employees the chance to be fully involved in developing projects and we seek to resolve work issues efficiently and to operate without red tape – all of which promotes a unique working environment that is favourable for employees’ personal and professional development.
