🎉 Another Recognition Worth Sharing. Thanks, Arcanytes & Partners!

July 27, 2026 • 5 min read

On July 9, Arcanys was named one of Southeast Asia's Best Workplaces™ in Technology for 2026, and to our surprise, we took the #1 spot in the Medium category.

This recognition belongs to the entire Arcanys community, including Arcanys Ventures, our operational venture capital arm and hands-on investor for startups.

It means a lot to us because many Arcanytes work as an extension of our clients' teams across different countries, time zones, and ways of working. A culture like that can't depend on everyone sharing an office, or even a project. It has to be something people carry with them, in how they support one another, build trust, and stay connected wherever they are.

It’s the Little Things That Make the Biggest Difference

Think about the everyday moments. The teammate who jumps in when someone's stuck. The impromptu Slack huddles that somehow turn into good ideas. The celebrations that follow after the launch of a new feature. The inside jokes that find their way into video calls. And the people who make screens less isolating and work feel a little lighter even on the most hectic days.

Those moments don't happen by accident. Every Arcanyte creates them, every single day. They may not always stand out on their own, but together they build the sense of belonging that makes Arcanys feel like home.

“I've worked in the software industry long enough to know that finding a company like Arcanys isn't easy. What stands out most is the people. I've had the chance to work with talented, supportive colleagues and professional clients, making every project a great learning experience. The company also invests in employee growth through training and certifications while encouraging a healthy work-life balance. What I appreciate most is the culture. Arcanys genuinely puts people first, values open communication, and creates an environment where you can grow professionally without sacrificing your personal life.”   ~ Web Developer, Glassdoor review

Supporting People Beyond Work

Looking after our people has always been one of the easiest calls we've made. That's why we keep investing in things that fit how Arcanytes actually work and live, from equipment reimbursement and monthly support for home offices to flexible schedules when projects allow, paid training and certifications, and our Employee Wellness Plan.

We make smaller practical changes, too. Many Arcanytes like dropping by the Arcanys Fitness Hub before work, at lunch, or after hours. So we recently added dedicated workspaces right beside the gym, somewhere comfortable for them to settle in, join a meeting, or catch up before or after a sweat session. Not every improvement has to be a big one. The small, thoughtful ones are often what matter most anyway.

A milestone like this is also a reminder that a great workplace is never finished. Every conversation and piece of feedback helps us see where to improve, whether someone's working from home, in the office, or at a cafe.

Thank You, Arcanytes and Partners

To every Arcanyte, thank you… for your trust, your collaboration, your kindness, and for making Arcanys a place where people grow together.

And to our clients and portfolio companies, thank you for welcoming our teams, making us feel like part of yours, and creating environments where Arcanytes can do their best work.

This recognition belongs to all of us. Now, back to what we do best. Catch you on Slack… or maybe at the gym. 😉
