From Seven to 250 – With Culture at The Center
Cefalo Bangladesh was established in 2011 and has grown from a small team of seven to over 250 employees. With headquarters in Oslo and a development center in Dhaka, we provide dedicated development teams that work exclusively for our clients — just like an in-house team.
Close collaboration with our clients ensures that developers not only understand the technology but also the business objectives behind the solutions they work on.
We have always prioritized a Norwegian work culture, emphasizing a flat structure, mutual trust, and respect. Through strong professional development opportunities, a thriving tech environment, and an inclusive culture, Cefalo has become an attractive employer in Dhaka, enabling us to recruit top developer talent.
GREAT RESULTS ARE CELEBRATED: Some of our staff in Dhaka, with Ferdous Mahmud Shaon in the middle, enjoy the celebration of the certification.
– We know that the best solutions come from employees who have opportunities to grow and influence their work. Our goal has been to build a culture that not only attracts top talent but also makes them want to stay, says Managing Director Shaon in Dhaka.
He also highlights the role of Norwegian clients in the company’s success:
– A big part of our success comes from collaboration with Norwegian clients. They set clear quality expectations while also providing our developers with trust and ownership of their work. This creates both job satisfaction and outstanding results, explains Shaon.
UNREAL RESULTS: Cefalo Bangladesh has every reason to celebrate the certification.
A Recognition of Our Employees
This certification is a testament to the efforts of both management and employees in Dhaka. Through close collaboration, knowledge sharing, and an open corporate culture, Cefalo has created a workplace where developers truly want to be.
According to Great Place to Work, companies with high employee satisfaction and engagement tend to be more stable, more innovative, and more successful— which benefits both employees and clients. A score of 94 % confirms not only that we have created a Great Place to Work – but one of the best places in our industry in the world.
At Cefalo, we believe that happy employees lead to happy clients. This certification is therefore not just a recognition of our internal work culture but also a reflection of the high-quality services we deliver.
– We remain committed to building a workplace where employees feel valued, grow professionally, and thrive — because this is how we continue to deliver top-quality results to our clients. We will keep investing in the development and well-being of our employees, Shaon promises.
