You may have heard of Pricefx, a leading, innovative software company with great people to work with. That’s nice, but what really matters to you is flexibility in how and when you work.
At Pricefx, we have a long history of giving our employees the tools they need to succeed, and we believe that goes beyond a good salary. Don’t take our word for it. Listen to Bára and Donatas share their perspective on what flexibility and working from home mean to them.
In this article, you’ll get to know just some of the ways our employees take advantage of our flexible culture.
Trust me, the allure of the fridge is a real thing. My secret to staying focused? I keep my snacks and beverages in a different room, far from where I work. It gives me a pause to ask whether I’m actually hungry or just delaying tasks. Sometimes, though, the enticing smell of fresh cookies and a warm coffee is simply too much to ignore.
I’d say my power hour is definitely post-coffee, typically mid-morning. That’s provided I’m not caught up watching the latest trending video or scrolling through social media.
There was this one time I could join my university buddies on an impromptu train trip to Pardubice. Thanks to the power of remote work, I got to explore the incredible Adršpach rock formations. I’m not sure thatwould have been possible if I was tied to a traditional office schedule.
I remember one night around 11 p.m. when I was hit by a wave of inspiration and couldn’t resist diving into my project. I worked through the night, made great progress, and was grateful for the chance to sleep inthe next day.
Without a doubt, the most unique workplace for me was in Adršpach, Czech Republic, with an office view that can only be described as epic. The only challenge was not getting too distracted by the breathtaking scenery around me.
Absolutely. Flexibility has allowed me to juggle work and studies at the same time. Being able to plan my work schedule around my needs has been a game-changer. It might not sound adventurous, but in its own way it really is.
My workday typically starts after my boyfriend leaves for work (there’s something charming about waking up to a ready breakfast). I prefer to get work done early in the morning, between 7 and 9 am. My ‘rush hour’ follows, which involves grocery shopping among a crowd of early birds.
I’ll be honest, I’m still figuring this out. As I juggle work and studies, it’s hard to switch off from work mode to study mode. I’m more or less online all the time, but I’ve recently started muting work notifications on my phone, which has helped me avoid distractions when I need to focus.
Interestingly, having the fridge nearby doesn’t distract me. It’s the opposite. I spend less time on meals at home than at the office, where lunch breaks with colleagues run longer.
Definitely the personal interactions with colleagues. That said, I appreciate the option to visit Pricefx offices not only in Prague but also in Hradec Králové and Ostrava, which gives me some balance.
