Great Place to Work is a global standard for workplace culture, where certification is awarded to companies that excel in creating a good and inclusive work environment. For Cefalo Bangladesh, this recognition is the result of many years of dedicated work in building a strong corporate culture and providing developers with the framework to thrive and grow in their jobs.
With a score of 94 %, we are well above the average for certified companies. Anything above 90 % is considered exceptionally good and places us at the very top globally. This confirms that our employees experience Cefalo as a workplace characterized by trust, collaboration, and development opportunities.

We maintain close collaboration with our clients, ensuring that the developers not only understand the technology but also the business objectives behind the solutions they work on.
We have consistently emphasized that Norwegian work culture should prevail, with a flat structure where mutual trust and respect are crucial. Through good development opportunities, a strong professional environment, and an inclusive culture, we have become an attractive employer in Dhaka, allowing us to attract the best developer talents.
GREAT RESULTS ARE CELEBRATED: Our staff in Dhaka celebrate the certification, with CEO Ferdous Mahmud Shaon in the middle.
– We know that the best solutions are created when employees have the opportunity to develop and influence their work. Our goal has been to build a culture that not only attracts the best talents but also makes them want to stay, says the CEO in Dhaka.
He emphasizes that this would not have been possible without the skilled clients in Norway with whom the developers in Dhaka collaborate.
– A large part of our success is about the collaboration with Norwegian clients. They set clear quality requirements while providing our developers with security, trust, and ownership of their work. This creates both job satisfaction and good results, explains Shaon.
