What are guilds?
Growth and knowledge sharing is written in our DNA, so it’s no wonder that we manage to form such a tight-knit community. Guilds are groups of people who have a desire to exchange experiences, share knowledge and learn together in a specific technology or business field. It is a bottom-up initiative, coordinated by employees, which puts the main emphasis on the exchange of project experience, meetings in the form of workshops and testing new technologies.
As experts, we want to deliver projects of the best quality, which is why we associate in groups of people operating in the same technologies. We want to increase our knowledge and skills through the exchange of experiences.
What rules govern guilds?
A guild arises as a result of its own initiative and implements its ideas under the supervision of a coordinator. Each guild has a quarterly budget at its disposal. We place great emphasis on the development and building of communities. All guild events are open to the public and can be attended by any employee within a quarterly pool of hours to participate in guild initiatives. This is additional development time that does not lower the individual development budget in Xebia.
As for now we have active 20 guilds operating in our organization. Employees, for example, can join Solutions Architects, Frontend or QA guilds. Except from that, there are guilds focused on specific technologies, such as Python, Java or Node.js.

We have a very cool initiative. One of the more famous initiatives is our little All .NET conference. There are also initiatives aimed at expanding knowledge and competence. For example, we have a Dev Discussion workshop where we talk about various technical topics.
