Software development companies in Poland – why is it worth cooperating with Polish developers?

The community of Polish developers is one of the largest and, at the same time, the best-rated one in Central and Eastern Europe. Particular attention is drawn to the ratio of service quality to their price. Both Polish and foreign companies willingly use the competencies of entire project teams or employ individual specialists for existing ones.

Poland in the forefront of rankings

The ranking also identified Poles as the # 1 JavaScript programmers. What are these statistics 6 years later?

A report published by the Pentalog at the beginning of 2022 shows that Poles rank # 7 in the world in terms of programming skills. Despite a slight drop compared to the results from 2019, in which Poland took 4th place, Polish developers are still proudly in the top 10 best programmers worldwide.

The situation is even better in the European market. In the Pentalog report, Poland took 4th place, thus ahead of Germany, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom.

Efficient workflow

Agile is characterized above all by effective and flexible manageability, high efficiency and quality in fast software delivery. Although over 71% of American companies have adopted Agile as the primary work method, Poles are considered leaders in this field.
