The international IT company GlobalLogic traditionally entered the top three IT companies in Ukraine by the number of specialists in July 2022. Since the beginning of the war, GlobalLogic has not only maintained cooperation with most specialists, but also became the only one of the top 3 to grow in the last 6 months.
Despite the optimistic reports on the foreign currency inflows from the IT industry to the economy of Ukraine for the first half of 2022, most of the TOP-50 largest IT companies in Ukraine stopped growth or even reduced the number of specialists (compared to the beginning of the year). The total number of IT specialists cooperating with the TOP-50 has decreased by almost three thousand people, according to the research published by DOU.
