2Checkout announced it was named Top 2019 Employer

2Checkout, the leading all-in-one monetization platform for global businesses, is proud to announce that it has been ranked third in the Top Employers 2019 list published by “Where We Work” (translation), an independent platform and community dedicated to employees in Romania.

The annual recognition list highlights those companies that demonstrate a strong focus on their employees’ needs as well as a healthy work environment. 2Checkout was included for the first time in the list, ranking third in the general category and second in the IT&C category. According to Where We Work, the ranking is based on reviews provided by employees on the Where We Work dedicated page.

“This nomination recognizes the efforts 2Checkout has made to support our employees’ needs,” said Mădălina Teodorescu, VP of Human Resources at 2Checkout.“During recent years, our team has steadily increased by 15-25% and we estimate that this trend will maintain in 2020. We continue to make career development and a pleasant work environment among our highest priorities.”

2Checkout’s career program has been designed in response to employees’ drive for professional growth; it includes seminars on career development, leadership courses, as well as open department days to identify new opportunities on different teams. The company also invests significantly in employee participation in industry events and at a local and global level.

2Checkout employees enjoy a large array of benefits including one day per week of work from home, flexible working hours, a Bookster subscription, free parking, as well as many other benefits. 2Checkout’s recent expansion of its Bucharest office includes 18 modern meeting rooms, spacious kitchens with dining areas, areas to relax, on-site showers, parking for bicycles in the building, as well as a game room.

In Romania, there are currently 340 experts working for the company, covering areas such as software development, marketing, sales, finance, customer support, and operations. Globally, 2Checkout will finish 2019 with over 400 employees.

The company started officially in 2006, but its founders were part of GECAD Group who developed RAV Antivirus (the technology purchased by Microsoft in 2003) which also started Avangate to achieve more business objectives in 2006. The company became a digital commerce leader on the international market for digital goods, enabling software companies to accelerate online sales through any channel, any model, and any market. In October 2013, the company was acquired by Francisco Partners, a leading global private equity firm. In April 2017, Avangate acquired 2Checkout to expand payment flexibility and broaden market reach, and the joint company was reintroduced under one name as 2Checkout.
