Multidots’ Contribution in WordPress’s Latest Release 4.8 ‘Evans’

Working on clients’ projects, creating commercial plugins, designing eye-catchy themes or playing some indoor/outdoor games after the whole hard work – the routine is very similar for most of the IT professionals. But at Multidots, the company culture is a bit off the track and therefore, unique.

We encourage the developers and employees to focus on personal skill development, letting them learn more and more. That’s the reason why they love to contribute in making the technology better.
