Since we founded Globant we’ve had the dream of building a global company that could provide development opportunities for young people, no matter where they lived.

Today we see a city that is growing, with professionals that are now making an impact around the world, and with a pool of talent that continues to expand each day”, stated Martín Migoya, Globant CEO and co-founder.

Following the same concept as the rest of its offices, the Globers from Mar del Plata will be able to enjoy spaces that were conceived to foster innovation and creativity, such as the auditorium, the music room, the chill out room and the solarium. The structure was designed to enhance the features of the Sea’s Museum.
