• People-first: We love our people. We are excited to see one another every morning when coming to work. We choose people and they choose us to share a similar excitement.
• Feedback over ego: We are self-improving whilst helping others grow. We are no-ego doers and we are all responsible for shaping the company.
• International team: We are an international team made up of over 17 nationalities, and hopefully many more soon!
• Fun: We constantly strive to cultivate a great work atmosphere and organize regular team events.
