The vision was clear: to create something impactful, rooted in collaboration and innovation. In the beginning, in 2019 and early 2020, ANT was built on the foundation of 4 founders and 8 dedicated employees. By February 2020, this core team was already driving our mission forward with passion and determination. By the end of 2020, our team had grown significantly, reaching 26 members, all driven by a shared purpose and commitment to excellence.
Fast forward to today, and we’re proud to stand as a thriving community of 68 talented individuals. Each new member has brought fresh perspectives, skills, and energy, helping us shape the ANT of today, a workplace where growth, creativity, and camaraderie define who we are. This journey is a testament to the power of teamwork and the incredible people who make ANT more than just a company—it’s a place where we all thrive together.
At ANT, it’s the people who truly make our journey special. Beyond the projects and achievements, it’s the culture, collaboration, and shared values that our colleagues cherish the most. From the supportive environment to the opportunities for growth and creativity, every team member has something unique they appreciate about being part of ANT.
Voices of ANT: Their Journey & Stories
”I ended up at ANT, believe it or not, by mistake! Alpar had meant to call another Cosmina from his contacts for the Office Manager position, but he accidentally reached me instead. At the time, I wasn’t looking for a job, I had just started at a large company. But within three days, I had quit and joined ANT. What can I say?! Some mistakes are really meant to happen. 🙂
That’s how my journey here began, and without realizing it, I made a complete career switch in five years: from Office Manager to Finance Manager. It has been an intense journey, filled with challenges and unexpected lessons. Along the way, I learned to adapt and develop new skills at every step. ANT provided me with the opportunity to completely transform my professional trajectory and discover how much I enjoy working in this field.
After five years at ANT, I realized how important it is not just to learn but also to practice what you learn. At first, I found myself getting absorbed in the details, trying to keep up with every task. But over time, I learned to slow down, give each idea the attention it deserved, and integrate them properly. This shift wasn’t just about my personal growth, it also reflected how ANT isn’t only about completing projects and tasks. It’s about how we evolve together as a team and as individuals, supporting each other to grow both professionally and personally.
In life, we often face tough decisions, decisions that push us out of our comfort zone, force us to take risks, and sometimes, lead us to not be everyone’s favorite. One more thing I learned at ANT over these five years is that in these moments, when we reorganize and focus on what is important, we truly grow. Although I had to clarify my priorities and set boundaries, each challenge taught me what it means to build something solid, with patience and dedication. And yes, every day at ANT is a new challenge, but I enjoy this, and the supportive and collaborative atmosphere among colleagues makes each step easier to take.
Do you know why ANT has grown so beautifully in just five years? Because each of us, the over 60 people here, has laid a brick in the foundation of this company. Every new idea, every extra effort, and every project completed has been a piece in the construction of a dream we live together.
Sometimes, even the smallest mistakes can lead us down unexpected paths, paths we never imagined. And for me, this journey has turned out to be one of the most beautiful.”
‘’Wow, this message really brought back memories and made me reflect on the journey we’ve shared over the past five years. I feel incredibly grateful and proud of this milestone, both personally and professionally. It’s actually my longest run with a company, and I realize more and more now that my decision to join ANT was driven by instinct and heart than by numbers or logic. And looking back, it was the right(best) choice.
What I love most about ANT is the sense of connection and support that has carried me through every step of the way. It’s not just about the work, but about the people. I’ve been so fortunate to work alongside colleagues who have been more than just co-workers—they’ve been mentors, friends, and constant sources of support. Whenever I faced challenges, I knew I could count on the availability and willingness of my teammates to guide me.
A special thank you to Vlad, Alpar, Cata P, Cata M., Cosmina, Octav, and all the colleagues I’ve had the pleasure to work with over these years. Your patience, advice, and friendship have been invaluable, and I’m truly excited about all the moments we will continue to share in the future.
Thank you all for making this journey so meaningful.”
‘’First of all, I like that we managed to maintain the focus on people and grow the team with really nice colleagues despite all the challenges we had.
I also like that this is an endless learning experience. I never had the chance to get bored and had the opportunity to explore all the areas of the company.
Last but not least I enjoyed the growth, starting with each of our colleagues in particular and ending with the entire company.”
‘’What I’ve always liked at ANT is the way everyone is so supportive and willing to help each other out.
When I first joined the company, I was both excited and a little nervous, not knowing exactly what to expect. But right from the start, I felt welcomed and supported, which made it easy to settle in and grow. Over time, I’ve gained confidence and built stronger relationships.
So now, looking back, I feel incredibly proud to be part of a team that cares not just about results but about people too.”
”I appreciate how my voice is valued at ANT, whether good or constructive feedback. Genuine communication creates a positive work environment, and I can always count on my supportive colleagues. The leadership practices eye-level communication, is approachable and supportive, and is always open to feedback and ideas.
We are a team that listens and engages with one another. ANT provides the flexibility for a healthy work-life balance, allowing everyone to do their best in their roles without compromising their personal lives.”
”What I have liked the most, since day 1, is that we have a strong emphasis on professional growth, with plenty of opportunities for trainings, knowledge sharing and career development. This shows that ANT is invested in not just our present contributions, but also in our future success and finding the best career path for each and one of us.
I really appreciate ANT’s culture that promotes collaboration, open communication and constructive feedback and the fact that my voice is listened and valued.
And I really appreciate ANT’s flexible work-from-home policy, which has made a significant positive impact on my work-life balance, while also succeeding to make me feel connected with my colleagues through regular virtual team-building activities.”
’’I like building things and ANT has given me the opportunity to do just that on Salesforce and Integration, in the company of great people.
We were patient, things were sometimes tough (during the pandemics and even now) – but we marched on, and ANT remained a company focused on people.
And what’s most impressive overall is the amount of passion, technical skills, dedication and overall kindness that is invested here. Nothing can be built without these ingredients and I’m happy I’m surrounded by people that are bringing these to the table every day!”
