About us

Launched in May 2008, ITslaves (www.itslaves.com) is a new,  open-minded community for IT and software engineers, consultants, network and database specialists, with a focus on those of us who are working in Central Europe.

We want to provide you with the space for sharing your experiences, both positive and negative ones, the "stuff" that you have collected throughout your career, while doing so in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere. We want to become a strong, professional platform offering space for creative discussions while allowing for a rich exchange of information among our members.

This community was created as a direct reaction to the lack of space for IT specialists in Central Europe where one can meet and exchange knowledge, ideas and information, not only related to computing, but also to work environment and conditions for the industry in general.

Our aim is to become the number one ranking web site focusing on IT employers and to bring to our users the added value of feedbacks on IT companies. Gathering the complex information and building the value itself is an ongoing process which requires a lot of effort and commitment not only from our side but also from our users.

Founder of our community, Mr. Bo Gustav Stahlbrandt has spent over 25 years in the IT field. His career started at a young age where he worked late hours programming older Norsk Data and VAX computers at the Uppsala Technical University (Sweden), the city in which he also studied electronics.
He has spent the last 15 years mainly in southern Germany where he has designed and deployed systems mainly for the European finance and logistics industry. He has held VP, CTO and CEO hats in several startup companies since the early 90's.

He launched the photography community Nikonians in January 2000 together with J. Ramón Palacios, the largest community for Nikon users in the world. In May 2006 he launched the software engineering company enprovia with main office in Bratislava, Slovakia.

Pleasant and friendly atmosphere here in our community is ensured by Your ITslaves team – Dana, Mária, Federico, Peter, Martin and Marcel who take care of technical issues, forum and content.
We are looking forward to seeing you around!

ITslaves gives you the possibility to review companies you have worked for and to help others to get useful information. You can rank companies according to several criterias, such as work conditions and remuneration,  while also commenting on the companies in general and give feedback on earlier comments as well.

Do you feel like changing your current job? Read the reviews and search our Jobs section or upload your CV and change your life - Hopefully by finding your dream job :-) Go to our “Articles and resources” section and find the the information you need before you take the step towards your new career.

Besides finding interesting jobs, you can also have fun participating in our contests. For more information on running contests, you should check out our Forums. Take part in the contests and win valuable prizes, such as laptop computers or programming courses.
No IT slaves’ team members, employees of Ruby Resourcing and enprovia Software engineering are allowed to claim contest prizes or exchange the Awarding system points.

We believe you will find a lot of useful information in our community, job opportunities and new friends. The ITSlaves team is looking forward to seeing you around and we are ready to assist you to make you feel comfortable using our web site, your community.
