    Hello!

    We invite you to a small photo tour of the St. Petersburg office of the FastVPS hosting company. The

    anniversary for FastVPS is coming to an end. In 2013, we turned 7 years old.



    The New Year is coming soon - that’s why today we have a New Year’s tour of the St. Petersburg office of FastVPS (although some photos will come from other seasons)



    Indeed, we are always interested in photo stories about how many square meters and kilometers were used by the giants of the IT industry: Google, Yandex, Facebook and so on. And what kind of landscapes they have outside the window.



    Of course, we are much more modest and simpler, but we tried to create as comfortable conditions for our colleagues as possible.

    The St. Petersburg office currently employs more than 25 employees, most of whom are support service specialists. In addition, the accounts department of the Russian division, the administrative department, and the billing system development department are also located here.



    The office is equidistant from the Pionerskaya and Udelnaya metro stations, in a comfortable business center with all amenities.



    Like, perhaps, any hoster, we are one of the few companies working around the clock in the business center. If you are driving past the house at 27/2 on Verbnaya Street at night - look at the windows of the 7th floor - we will definitely work.



    The St. Petersburg support all the time consists of "fighters of the invisible front."



    Guys and girls (yes, we have beautiful young ladies in support!) From technical support are very shy and terribly do not like to be photographed. But not everyone does not always manage to get out, although they carefully hide behind the monitors.



    The team in the St. Petersburg office (as, indeed, in the Estonian office, which we will discuss later), was selected and continues to be selected very carefully.



    All candidates undergo a rigorous pre-selection, a personal interview with the head of the department, pass the test task, and in the final - an interview with the CEO.



    Here, by the way, is our company tricolor. That is, three flags - Russian, Estonian and corporate.



    We sincerely believe that working as a support specialist is not always just the start of a career, often it is a vocation and a permanent profession.



    Support is the face of the company, the first line, and we are sure that it is support that is often undeservedly deprived of attention and care in provider companies. And, of course, we are trying to fix it.



    In addition to the required professionalism and the ability to quickly learn and teach, the employee should be a little philosopher, a little psychologist, have a ninja reaction, the wisdom of Kaa and the patience of Mother Teresa. However, we’ll tell you more about this in other articles on Khabr.



    We sincerely support a healthy lifestyle, therefore employees who spoil their health by smoking conduct daily workouts for other colleagues.



    All employees have free unlimited access to all available snacks.



    Sweet and salty.



    And drinks.



    An iron box is an ice maker in case of hot summer days when you really want a fresh cocktail.



    And harmful drinks that we do not show for reasons of secrecy.



    We will only say that they are especially relevant for a night shift.



    In addition, a free coffee machine with 16 drinks to choose from and a coffee machine are always available for employees and guests.



    Every day (even on weekends) hot food is delivered to the office from a certified organization, which was selected through a long general test drive from many suppliers of lunch to offices available in St. Petersburg.



    Every day, more than 50 dishes in any combination and with any number of servings are offered to employees to choose from (relevant for those who stay up late in the office).



    There are, of course, diet and even lean menu options, for those who are relevant.



    However, sometimes we cook ourselves.



    Including in nature during joint trips. Oh, sorry, this is not about the office somehow :)



    A small dining room allows you to finally get distracted from work and relax, chat with colleagues, and sometimes hold a quick meeting.



    FastVPS is already getting ready for the New Year. And although everyone understands that the Year of the Blue Horse promises horse efforts and an appropriate complexion, this does not completely cancel the festive mood.



    Under the Christmas tree are real gifts. For children of employees. Before the New Year, we will organize a small performance for the kids.



    And here on the right are gift sets for the employees themselves and their families. It was not possible to hide them, there will be no surprise, but we are sure that everyone will be pleased anyway.



    The workplace of the support employee is equipped in accordance with the approved standard - 16 GB RAM, multi-core processor, SSD disk, two or more monitors, if necessary.



    The administrative department strictly monitors the cleanliness of the main working tools - mice and keyboards, worn out or too dirty - are mercilessly replaced with new ones.



    Employees, of course, can use their own or order special ones, if it is convenient for them.



    Here you can relax or chat after a hearty lunch.



    Or massage a tired body on a massage relaxation chair by reading the written IT magazines or books from the mini-library, the composition of which is determined by the employees themselves.



    To raise tone, there is billiards, which, according to Mayakovsky, "grows an eye." The billiard table with a simple revolution turns into air hockey.



    Or you can just play the X-box alone or with colleagues, because a man of any age is still a boy!
    In general, a fast, professional, cheerful young team works at FastVPS.



    Over the past seven years, FastVPS has overgrown with some traditions.



    For example, the guys remember not only about their children, whom they gradually acquire, but also about those who need help. FastVPS regularly does charity work. You can read the report on this activity over several years on the company's website.



    Such a small tour turned out, however, our office is also not the largest, but we believe that everything is still ahead!



    See you soon!
