Why a hotel is ideal as an office

The L-One office in Damascus is housed in a former hotel. The advantage is that each dedicated team has a separate room there.

 

There, the developers work on their joint customer project, exchange ideas and communicate remotely with your in-house IT team via your communication channels.

 

Your own solar power system and a fiber optic connection ensure a reliable power supply and a good, stable Internet connection.

Your dedicated team of developers will work intensively on your business case and vision during the onboarding phase.

about the partnership with L-One (to the Case Study)

Do you want to work with the same developers in the long term?

We have established employee retention programs. Our developers enjoy working at L-One and for our customers - with expertise, commitment and team spirit.

 

If one of them plans to leave L-One, our proven handover process kicks in: We select a suitable developer in consultation with you and work him or her into your project. That way, things continue seamlessly.

If a developer from your dedicated team leaves L-One, the other team members will fully train the successor.

Do you want your development team to be at the cutting edge of technology?

We place a lot of emphasis on continuing education. In regular meetings, the technical teams (e.g. the backend team) exchange information on new tools, best practice examples and more.

Every developer has a personal development plan. Our incentive system motivates learning: Our Head of Software Development regularly assesses performance and experience levels together with his team. Those who perform well move up the career ladder.

Frequently asked questions


What happens when a developer leaves L-One?

For every customer we build a dedicated team of at least two offshore developers. This way we build up long-term project know-how together with your in-house team - independent of individual developers.

L-One manages this know-how for you. This means: If a developer from your team leaves L-One, the other team members will train the successor comprehensively. Your project continues seamlessly.

 

Do the L-One teams in Darmstadt and Damascus belong to the same company?

 

No, that is not possible for legal reasons. We have set up our own company for our site in Syria, with which we have concluded an exclusive contract:

The employees of L-One LLC in Damascus work exclusively for projects of the German L-One GmbH. In return, the LLC is allowed to use the employer brand "L-One", which has a very good reputation in Damascus.

Is it employee leasing if the developers work so closely with us?

No, our service counts as a software development service, not as employee leasing. Although in our service model Team Extension our dedicated developer teams work directly with our clients' in-house teams and attend internal meetings, they are employed by L-One.

You only pay for the days the developers have worked for you. You don't pay for vacation and sick time - unlike your own employees. We take care of disciplinary and organizational issues such as training and salary. If necessary, in consultation with you, for example with vacation requests.
