We are a values-driven company:

  • Vibe - you say what does not fit. You give feedback, and you listen to critical feedback as well.
  • Self-driven - everyone's opinion is essential, but ownership is more important. You understand that someone has to take responsibility for the decision and how it affects the whole product or company.
  • Focus - you stay aligned with what and how we act as a company. You move your WIGs (Wildly Important Goals) further. You take responsibility for your work and overlook the health of that area.
