Great place to work
Soft landing: how we onboard new employees
We know that joining a big organization can be a difficult experience. That is why we attach great importance to onboarding, i.e. the process of accustoming the employee to our work environment. At Allegro, it consists of several stages:
Onboarding
1. Carefully preparing for the arrival of a new person (arranging equipment, getting in touch, sending information about the next stages)
2. Appointing a mentor for the new employee
3. 3-day onboarding training for everyone
4. 2-day specialised onboarding (separate for Tech/Commerce and CEX)
5. Introducing to the role and duties
During the 3-day onboarding training, new employees learn how our platform works, how we build business relationships, and how we ensure safety. This is also the right time to get to know the individual departments of the organisation and understand the nature of their work, as well as the tools that we use in our daily work.
All new employees, as well as those who have been working here for a long time, can also take advantage of the MindUp comprehensive Allegro training programme, which offers training, workshops, educational courses, conference attendance, and even postgraduate courses.
In 2018 and 2019, 609 people (new employees and people returning after long absence) took part in the Allegro onboarding process.
Giving young people a chance
Each year, we also invite young people who are only starting their careers to gain knowledge and experience together with us. In 2018, 29 people took part in our Allegro Summer e-Xperience internship programme, and 35 in 2019.
An internship at Allegro in 3 months long, it is paid, and the best interns have a chance to stay with us and get employed at Allegro. Every third intern signs a contract after the end of Summer e-Xperience. All interns are assigned a mentor who supports them throughout the programme. They can take part in the trainings we offer, and also try themselves in working independently on real projects and tackling problems of one of the largest technology companies in Poland.
The Summer e-Xperience programme is recommended by as many as 96% of the trainees who took part in it.

The employee turnover rate in 2019 was 10.9%.We have created the Allegro Alumni community for former Allegro employees to bring them together and allow them to stay in touch. We have also launched the Boomerang programme, which makes it easier for former employees to return to the company if they choose to do so.
