About company
Nothing But Football. Everything In Football. We are Footballco. To over 3 billion people on earth, football is more than just a game. It’s the world they live in, and it brings out all the emotions that can be felt in a matter of seconds. It’s an exhibition of history, culture, fashion, romance, athleticism, sportsmanship and everything in between.
At Footballco we are the representation of the love we all have for the game of football. That’s why we promise to deliver content that covers all aspects of the game. On the pitch. Off the pitch. And beyond the pitch. Our audience’s love of football is mirrored in the way we create content for them, always striving to give them something more that will enhance that love.
Teams
In Katowice we currently have 25 developers (Front-End, Back-End, iOS and Android) allocated in five small self-organized teams. Our teams are constantly cooperating and collaborating with each other on a daily basis while developing our brands.
Within our IT department we are strongly focusing on creating an innovative culture that allows us to invest in ourselves, and shape our culture from the bottom-up. Think Outside the Box, It’s Game Time, Drill Sessions and Training Camp are all initiatives we have put into effect recently to strengthen our bonds and relationships at Footballco while addressing the need for personal development, career advancement, creative thinking and providing solutions to various business cases. It’s not all business though, we like to engage everyone to have some fun with these numerous activities.

Structure and posibility of being promoted
During our daily work routine, we work with each other in a very collaborative manner, supporting each other is strongly encouraged. At Footballco we decided to retain the IT market linear career path and have the following progression for developers (Junior Engineer, Experienced Engineer, Senior Engineer, Principal Engineer). However, that being said, our approach to each other and colleagues is flat and uniform. The advancement of an individual is primarily influenced by the feedback and information provided by your colleagues and how well you are able to resolve complex problems. This pertains to not only technical skills but also soft-skills. People who uplift and inspire each other are highly valued within our organization. We are guided by the principle that the higher the position someone has, the greater responsibility they have in helping and making others become better and better. Bottom-Up and transparency are very important to everyone at Footballco.
