The benefits

In addition, Pink Elephant thinks it is important that you know how to develop yourself, no matter what. An own Pink Academy, internal knowledge sessions, events and a wide range of different colleagues will certainly contribute to this. A lease car (or mobility budget) will bring you some convenience and because we think it is important that you are always comfortable in your own skin, you will get 28 vacation days with the possibility to buy 20 more (obv 40 hours). Now we are talking! But the most important thing is that all Pinkers enjoy their work, because only then we can bring out the best in each other!
Pink Elephant makes IT personal
It is our mission to make IT personal. By listening carefully to the wishes of the client, and especially the end user. But also by our knowledge of the market and developments in IT. On that basis, we go to work to select the right components. So that we deliver a solution with which the end user can perform his or her work optimally and has more time left for the real work.
For example, in the healthcare sector. We have clients where the administrative burden dropped by tens of percent after Pink365, our personal workstation, was introduced. That’s time the care worker can spend on clients.
Pink Elephant has three disciplines: Outsourcing, Professional Services & Consulting and Hardware & Software Services. You can develop in this playing field. Pinkers are people who go for it. They enjoy their work and like to party from time to time. They go the extra mile and are involved with clients and colleagues. Because we also make IT personal for our employees. We have offices in Naarden, ‘s-Hertogenbosch and Maastricht-Airport.
