Do you already have a YotaPhone? No? You will! In the meantime, look where it is made. We looked into the office of the Yota Devices company, gasped and realized that you should only work in such conditions!
Open space
Yota Devices offices are located in different parts of the worldworld: in Europe, Asia, Africa, Canada. The company's headquarters are located in Moscow, and it is strikingly different from the usual work spaces. However, we have a unique opportunity to carefully examine the Yota Devices office.
The Yota Devices office is decorated in the most modern stylelayout option — open space. Certain rules apply here — openness, constant interaction and quick access. An open space office is a light and bright space that is truly pleasant to be in. It can in no way be called boring, because there are also bright accents that bring a joyful note to the interior.
Wardrobe
The Yota Devices office is bright and spaciousa dressing room where company employees can leave their outerwear and shoes. Everything is strictly organized and each item has its own place - on hangers or on a shoe rack. Many employees are pleased with the presence of a huge full-length mirror - this is a rather rare accessory for offices. A pleasant bonus - bright orange poufs.
Conference hall
The company's employees call these rooms"meeting rooms". Despite all the seriousness of the meetings that take place in this space, there are glass partitions, cacti and bright red chairs. By the way, if necessary, any employee of the company can come to the conference room with a laptop and continue working in the meeting room.
Corridor
The corridor is formed by dividing the roomsglass partitions. On the left, there are colored walls - pink, light green and blue. There are brutal accents on the ceiling - wires and metal beams.
Dining area
The spacious dining area includeskitchen set and several high round tables. Here you can also see modern kitchen gadgets, such as a microwave oven and a coffee machine. A huge plus is several light sources. On the wall is a cheerful picture with rosy-cheeked girls.
Designers room
The most creative space in the office.Balloons in different shades of green, artificial tulips on long stems and a red bean bag chair. In the middle of the room is a social area, with the employees' work stations located around the perimeter. There is also a photograph called "Vain Youth" (not included in the frame).
Motivation and control
The open space style interior has its own characteristics.For example, complete transparency in the literal and figurative senses - glass partitions allow you to easily see what your colleague is doing at the moment. How comfortable is it to work in such an office? Do you feel the need for personal space? Do colleagues' conversations prevent you from concentrating on work? We asked these questions to the company's employees.
I can't say that for me the interior is in styleThe open space was an additional incentive for work, rather, it is a pleasant addition. I like that there are no restrictive barriers here. You can discuss some work issues with both management and colleagues. In principle, I do not need a rest room - in order to relax, I just need to go outside and breathe fresh air. I want to say that I actively use Yota Devices products - I have a phone, a router and other devices, including those that are in test mode.
Makhmud Makhmudov, Operations Director
Of course, you need to get used to open space.The problem of concentration is acute - there are 10-12 people in the same space with me, who are talking, calling on the phone. I must admit that such an open space is not suitable for everyone, it largely depends on the qualities of the person. However, if necessary, I can go into the meeting room. By the way, an open space interior, in my opinion, is more conducive to informal communication. In addition, there is a constant energy exchange here, which has a very good effect on the work process. Although, I admit, I still prefer a chamber environment.
Dmitry Protoklitov, Marketing Manager
Open space is very convenient, everything is hereare interconnected. There is a constant exchange of positive emotions, it brings people together. I find it comfortable to work in such an interior, despite the fact that there are about ten people in the same space with me. We do not have a strict schedule, but there are certain deadlines when you need to complete your work. Sometimes I want to be alone - for example, when I am drawing a new application. Then I go to the "meeting room" and sit there for about an hour.
Daria Sysoeva, mobile app designer
Open space literally addstransparency of the work process. If I or one of my colleagues has a question, we can immediately discuss it and come to a common decision. It is very convenient. We do not have strict time frames when we have to come to work and leave it. In the middle of our office there is a table football - I sometimes play it after work so as not to disturb my colleagues. I am very comfortable in such an office - sometimes I even prefer to sit here longer than go home.

The art of creating
There is no denying the fact that spacearound us greatly influences us, including our work. Especially in cases where the activity is related to the creation of something new. Yota Devices employees work in an unusual office and create unusual smartphones and gadgets. Yota Devices is the developer of YotaPhone 2, the world's first touchscreen smartphone with two screens, one of which is always on. The device combines two displays - a color AMOLED, developed specifically for YotaPhone, as well as a black and white EPD display created using electronic ink technology. It is this that allows the smartphone to be more functional, while consuming less electricity. Despite the presence of two screens, the device is very thin and light.
And these are far from all the advantages of the uniquesmartphone! YotaPhone can be customized for you — any image, photo or graphic can be placed on the device. An important detail: the EPD display does not glare in the sun even in direct sunlight and provides a viewing angle of 180 degrees. In reading mode, YotaPhone can be used for up to 100 hours on a single battery charge. In addition, Yota Devices is engaged in the development and production of high-tech subscriber LTE equipment (modems, routers).
