This is how we do it.

We elevate each employee’s responsibility and his/her taking ownership. You take the lead and pursue your passion. 

Autonomy and ownership over projects! Small teams and project management supporting planning and communication around project’s milestones. Collaboration and collective creativity over formal rules-based KPIs for performance.

We network to get a broader perspective and build relationships - you get to hear what interesting challenges people are solving in their projects or what kind of passions or hobbies are there to share a conversation.

We create spaces for sharing to happen - various internal knowledge sharing initiatives exist to connect smart people rowing in the same direction. 

You may change a project, work with a different technology or pass a certification, etc. You have a bunch of opportunities and your own responsibility to take the lead on your growth!

We communicate openly, we share candid feedback. We build on trust so the innovation naturally happens!

There is no difference if you work from home or the office. We focus on productivity, not hours and constant communication on Slack!

The timesheet gets filled in automatically, the onboarding process works online, and a bot books a parking spot for you or reminds you about internal knowledge sharing initiatives. We love improvements like that!

Everyone is a consultant actively engaged in ongoing discussions with our Clients regarding project scope, understanding the context for a solution to deliver a great experience to future users.
