Simplicity
Aspire to make things simple, there's beauty in being able to explain and understand easily.
Our values
At ABBYY, our success is built upon a foundation of shared values that define who we are and how we operate as a team. Our commitment to these values is not just a statement; it's a way of life within our organization. These values serve as the compass that guides our actions, decisions, and interactions every day.
Transparency
We trust our colleagues with knowledge and information. We know that leading with transparency drives team effort and engagement.
Respect
Above all, we show respect. We are kind to our teammates, respect others' opinions, and we listen.
ABBYY’s vision is to be the leader in powering intelligent automation. This requires a very strong commitment to strategy execution, business plans, revenue growth, profitability, and other targets. But that only takes us so far. Our greatest advantage is our employees who turn ideas and plans into real achievements. By putting people first, we aim to be a great employer where people can grow professionally as well as personally.
Ulf Persson, CEO of ABBYY Group and Board Director
Our guiding principles
Our commitment to excellence goes beyond our team values; it extends to the principles that guide our everyday actions and decisions. These principles are the compass that directs us towards achieving our goals while upholding the highest standards of integrity, collaboration, and customer-centricity
Think like a customer
We look for opportunities to delight our customers.
Do the right thing
We act like everyone is watching, doing the right thing for our company, our team, and our customers.
Be a team player
We don't sacrifice the team for the individual. Each of our successes, is the success of our team and vice versa. We are #oneABBYY.
Diversity & inclusion
At ABBYY, we value and celebrate our differences and recognize the strength that diversity brings to the workplace. Our team is worldwide, working from across 13 countries.
Together, we proudly represent 30+ nationalities, and we strive to create an environment where everyone feels welcome and supported.
Challenging the gender gap in the tech industry
At ABBYY, we are proud of our above-industry-average representation of women in the workplace. Women at ABBYY represent over 40% of our workforce, and more than a third of our team leaders.
Empowering our colleagues
Our colleagues are supported by our leadership team to form employee initiative groups to connect with, and represent, their community within the company. Women@ABBYY is an example of such community.
Flexibility for every lifestyle
We provide everyone at ABBYY with the option to work remotely or hybrid and build a work schedule that fits their lifestyle through our flexible hours policy. Additionally, as part of our Volunteer Time Off program, every ABBYY colleague can take two paid days off every year to contribute to a charity of their choice.
Nurturing inclusivity and integrity
We hold ourselves accountable to the highest level of integrity and ethical behavior enforced by our Code of Conduct, which sets the standards for how we act at ABBYY.
Celebrating our wins, while striving for better
Over the past years, we have consistently received above industry-average scores of 8.8/10 from our employees when asked how they would rank our Diversity and Inclusion efforts, through our monthly company-wide engagement surveys.
There is richness in variety of our collective experiences, history, backgrounds, abilities, and perspectives – those can all thrive within one community, even if that community is organized around a business purpose.
As most successful businesses, we strive to build our product in a way such that we can differentiate it and better serve our customers; in order to do that, we need to be able to innovate – innovation is a function of challenge and non-linear thinking, which is in turn enabled by individuals who represent different perspectives. To hire and retain diverse talent, we need to offer an inclusive environment – a community where differences are celebrated, and where we can all feel like we belong. That’s our aspiration and vision for ABBYY.
Environmental and social responsibility
At ABBYY, environmental and social responsibility initiatives have been of vital importance for a long time. Not only do our products help hundreds of clients around the world reduce inefficiencies and improve their resource management practices, but we have also developed our own host initiatives to promote sustainability and social responsibility.
