The opening ceremony took place in the Intellias Porto office, an airy open space with modern meeting rooms and a comfortable fun area with a PlayStation and snacks. Intellias believes that the best technological solutions can be developed only in a comfortable environment, which is why Intellias employees are offered a flexible work style, with the ability to choose whether to work remotely or from the office. Specialists have the autonomy to manage their time, pursue professional growth at their own pace, and shape their career trajectories. Offering multiple learning and mentorship opportunities, Intellias is committed to fostering an inclusive, supportive, and dynamic work environment.
