 A magical Wooftop Party with a White Moon theme 🤍🌗 

Wolves that party together stay together (or something like that 🤭)!

July marks the arrival of our legendary Summer Party, a tradition we eagerly anticipate every year. 

This time, we blended the charm of a cosy rooftop with the enchanting glow of a white moon 🌗 into the perfect ambience for our mystical Wooftop Party. 🤍

Everyone embraced the white dress code, and let's just say we all rocked it! 🕊

During our activities, we transformed a blank canvas into a vibrant painting, captured lasting memories at the photo corner, played a fun round of "how well do you know your colleagues" bingo, and had a good chuckle at the jokes contest.

What made the night extra special, you ask? ✨

The highlight of the evening was a live concert by Take Five Band, where our Product Owner, Alex, rocked the stage as a singer! 🎤

If the pictures above didn't quite transmit the vibe of our Summer Party, enjoy this lively photo album 🎞️ from that night for your viewing pleasure.🫶

Unleashing our inner athletes 🏋️‍♂️

We always end the summer with a day full of sports activities in our backyard, and the summer of 2023 was no different. ☀️

On August 24, at 5 PM sharp, we closed our laptops and went outside to do yoga, play basketball, have a table tennis championship, and play some games we played a lot as children: The Hunters and the Ducks (Rațele și Vânătorii - if you know, you know) and a Relay Race (Ștafeta).

   

Movie Night 🎬🍿

We threw an epic open-sky Movie Night in our backyard with a massive screen, loads of snacks, and the works! 🎥🍿

Shout out to Andrei, one of the wolves who made this real-life outdoor cinema experience possible for us. Thank you, Andrei; we enjoyed every minute, even the preparations! 🤗 

If you're trying to work out the movie title from the frame we captured in this photo, it's the Green Book, and we recommend it. 💯

Celebrating the wolves 🐺

Our people are at the heart of our culture, and we thrive on supporting and celebrating our teammates. 💛

Each year, we have special days dedicated to the tech teams to acknowledge their valuable contributions to our projects.

In Q3, we had two of these special occasions: Web Developer's Day on August 6 and Quality Assurance Day on September 9. 

And because we can't thank them enough, join us for one last big shoutout to our exceptional web developers and diligent Quality Assurance team for their outstanding work and dedication. 👏👏👏👏👏
