The Tax Compliant Citizens

Noor Games is proud to be awarded a certificate of tax compliance by the State Revenue Committee of Armenia. As of 28th of March, 2017, we are among the 76 firms that have passed a thorough examination and monitoring by the committee and are declared to meet the highest standards. This initiative by the RA government was launched in the beginning of 2017 and is aimed at further encouraging taxpayers to comply with all the taxation regulations. It involves publicising the information about the companies that have submitted to tax and customs authorities financial reports and data in a timeframe required by law and have had no breaches or liabilities to the state budget. Moreover, the Central Bank of Armenia will apply beneficial conditions for use of banking services for the certified companies.

Introduction As a non-technical person have you ever wondered if your technical team is effective? Do you ask yourself if the speed of development and the number of bugs in your project are reasonable? Do you often doubt whether the team you are working with actually suits the needs of your project and should be trusted further? In this post we present to you the symptoms of non-professional software development teams. The points we make have been discussed in the community for a long time and there are multiple sources that we will refer to. We will also add some ideas from the knowledge we have gathered from both working in different companies on different software projects and while being a company and working with multiple customers and other teams.

How To Get Employees With The Required Skills

“Those who know, do. Those that understand, teach.” ― Aristotle Why did we train? Have you ever run a hiring cycle and all candidates appeared to have some important skill missing for your position?

To satisfy the growing demand of workforce for the projects we were working on we undertook a hiring cycle. For months we interviewed developers of various expertise and backgrounds with the main focus on C++ developers. We realized that the young and motivated did not have the minimum…
