WHAT WE OFFER

COMPENSATION, WELFARE & BENEFIT

Our history and our future are built on the value of our people. Prometeia’s biggest investment is in our people, and it concerns every aspect of professional life. We call it “Total Compensation,” and it is made of three elements: Compensation, consisting of a fixed and a variable component, a Welfare Plan active since 2015 –we were among the first companies in Italy to introduce it–, and Benefits, including all initiatives for the well‑being of our people.

REMOTE WORKING

Flexibility is an intrinsic value of our approach to work. In Prometeia, remote work is an organizational model grounded in trust. It delivers benefits for work‑life balance, environmental impact, and improved company results through the autonomy and empowerment of people.

PEOPLE PROGRAM

Our evaluation system is based on the full enhancement of our people and on continuous dialogue as a stimulus for regular, mutual professional and personal growth. Within the projects, several moments are dedicated to transparent discussions between managers and team members. This enables reciprocal, prompt feedback. The process is fully digitized and designed to continuously drive the strategic growth of both the individual and the company.

TRAINING

Prometeia means continuous training. We provide an average of 11 days of training per year to our people, in person and online. We pay specific attention to younger colleagues, the protagonists of dedicated growth programs, and to the continuous sharing and internal transfer of know‑how and skills. On‑the‑job training is also important and is made of immediate and direct confrontation with the market.

WIN/WIN POLICY

If you are an employee and recommend a candidate who is later hired, you are eligible for a financial bonus! This is an important opportunity to contribute to Prometeia's growth by attracting recognized market professionals and new tech talent.

We have completely digitalized the management of our physical and virtual environments through the dedicated app Pr(Home)teia. Access to the office, remote working, workstations, meeting rooms, carpooling… everything is just a click away.

COMMUNITY

Our Community is highly diverse, as are the skills of the people who are part of it and share its values, as well as the individuals and organizations directly or indirectly involved in our activities. Clients, People of the Group, Alumni, Institutions, Academia, and non‑profit entities with whom we actively cooperate are stakeholders who provide significant value to us in terms of trust and collaboration.

DIVERSITY

We promote and respect equal opportunities and value differences. Diversity & Inclusion are fundamental values: from the recruitment phase to everyday life, promoted also through dedicated training moments to develop individual sensitivities and uniqueness.

IMPACT

We take an active, responsible role in the environment, territories, and communities where we operate. Our Headquarters in Bologna has earned LEED Gold Certification, one of the highest awards recognizing the building's efficiency in energy and water savings, CO2 emissions reduction, and improvements in the ecological quality of interiors, materials, and resources. In the Sustainability Report, we outline the results achieved across the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the 2030 Agenda, drafted by the UN in 2016, which we have supported since 2020.
