Working at Epico Mainframe

Dynamant is one of the leading providers of Mainframe consultants in the Nordics – a market position only possible through the dedicated work of its employees.

Dynamant’s many consultants work across different clients, projects, and locations — yet they describe a workplace where they feel supported and connected, even without a traditional office setting.

The following reflections from Bo, Tomas, and Monika, three of the Mainframe-experts working at Dynamant, paint a picture of a company culture shaped by straightforward communication, trust, and the familiarity that comes from working with experienced colleagues.

A Culture Based on Respect and Approachability

When questioned, several employees noted that their first interactions with Dynamant stood out for being unusually open and personal. Bo, who is an experienced tech profile, recalled being told during his initial conversation, “we really like you,” something he hadn’t experienced in previous interviews. For him, that simple remark helped set the tone for what he later came to view as a welcoming workplace.

Monika described a similar sense of friendliness: “They are so friendly… there’s always a warm hug.” While everyone’s day‑to‑day work happens out at client sites, the overall sentiment is that Dynamant maintains a culture in which people feel acknowledged and treated with consideration.

There is no heavy structure behind this — just a consistent, approachable way of interacting built on mutual respect and friendliness.

Work That Stays Interesting

One recuring sentiment when talking to the Dynamant professionals is the nature of the work itself. Consultants highlight assignments that are technically demanding and often long‑term, giving them room to dive deep into systems and solutions.

Tomas, currently working on a large migration project, described it as “engaging and fun… a very interesting technical challenge.” – something that he thinks is highly motivating for his professional development.

Bo noted the complexity of mainframe environments and that it is “not just COBOL, but all the surroundings,” something that continues to make the work varied even after decades in the field.

For Monika, who has worked in IT since the late 1980s, the diversity of roles and tasks over the years is a major reason she has never found the work dull and encourages her to continue to pursue new projects within the field.

Connection Through Colleagues

Even though consultants are spread across clients and projects, many form close professional relationships. Bo has worked alongside the same Dynamant colleague for more than six years:
“We discuss everything — he’s my backup and my help.”

For others, the sense of community comes from knowing that support is always available. Tomas notes that it's easy to get hold of the right people when he needs input or has a question. This informal network seems to function effectively without needing much structure behind it.

These connections are an integral part of how Dynamant would like work culture to be reflected in daily work – through trust, connectedness and an open-door approach.

Mainframe – a future proof field

If you were to believe the hype from the bigtech providers, Mainframe has been dead for decades. However.. we are currently experiencing an increasing demand in services and deliveries across the field among both domestic and international providers.

When asked about the future, the consultants expressed a pragmatic but positive outlook. Their willingness to stay with Dynamant is tied to having interesting projects, feeling respected, and maintaining the professional and personal balance they value.

Tomas summed it up in a straightforward way:
“As long as the projects are challenging and I grow in some way, I’m happy.”
