Room to growand bloom

Clear, transparent and honest communication is the basis for working together efficiently and effectively day to day. Honesty and openness are essential for holding the team together and building a strong team spirit. To us, this means:

• We give each other open feedback at any time. With good intent and free from reprisal.
• We disagree respectfully when our views differ, even when it is uncomfortable or exhausting. We do not keep concerns to ourselves.
• We work transparently and share important information openly across the team. We do not keep important information to ourselves.
• Once we agree on something, we commit & stick to it and give everything we have. We avoid questioning decisions again and again and rather inspect & adapt them as part of our continuous improvement.
• We listen carefully and adapt our communication style so we can work effectively with different people.
• We can talk about anything and dare to ask any question.
• We support each other in our day-to-day business when someone needs help, because we all know that we are stronger as a team than as individuals.
• We encourage everyone to feel and live our way of communication & collaboration. We also ensure that every new joiner feels comfortable from day one and no one is left alone.
• We don’t take ourselves too seriously: We love to laugh and feel that humour is a central part of our culture. We want to keep it that way.

A team is only as strong as its weakest member. To become a strong dream team, we have to promote, support and motivate every individual team member. This means:

• We help each other in every situation to ensure that we as a team achieve our goals but also to accomplish everyone’s personal goals.
• We pay top-of-the-market salaries & provide a competitive package of additional benefits like a mobility & technology budget and tax-free benefits. If we want to be the best, we need to pay the best.
• We act as a team. We always balance individual needs with those of the team. We will never put our individual needs above those of the team.
• We let the team shine. Everything you achieve individually is only possible because of a strong team in the background. Keep that in mind and always thank the team for your achievements.
• Everything we do is based on mutual appreciation.

We don’t have a playbook which is provided top-down by any kind of “management team”. Not having such a traditional hierarchy means that everyone must take ownership to bring the team forward and to make the company work successfully. To us, this means:

• Everyone has to make bets without sign-off: take responsibility and ownership for topics, commit and deliver the best.
• Everyone is giving their best to drive the company forward. Everyone brings their share to the table & is part of the decision-making process. Decisions are taken by the team.
• Everyone admits mistakes openly and shares learnings widely: if you fail, admit your mistake, reflect on the situation and define valuable takeaways. There is no better way than to learn from your own mistakes.
• Everyone has a bias for action: speed matters in business. Prefer speed and action over deliberation and inaction.
• Everyone takes calculated risk to keep up with the speed.
• We trust each other. We spend time debating, discussing and setting the context and strategy, but let everyone do their job on their own.
• We commit to what we have said. Integrity is a fundamental value to build up trust.

With a diversity of skills and perspective, including all kinds of people with different backgrounds, nationalities, locations, ethnicity and genders, we can create a team spirit like no other. In combination with room for individual needs and demands, we want to enable everyone to grow. To us, this means:

• Diversity is a fundamental part of our corporate culture and one of the focus areas of our corporate development.
• Everyone has maximum space for individual needs, demands and self-development.
• Everyone is responsible for taking team needs into consideration and balance those with their individual needs. We will always maximise the room for individual needs, but we will not put our individual needs above those of the team. Team needs must not suffer because of someone's individual need.
• “New Work” is our way of life. Whether flexible working hours or working remotely, every team member can adjust their workday to meet their individual needs in coordination with the respective customer.

What sets us apart most is a high level of quality awareness and in particular, integrity & authenticity. We consider ourselves as experts in our field and as such we always strive to bring real value to our customers. To us, this means:

• We insist on the highest standards & quality for all the work we do, be it internal or for our clients. We always focus on sustainable and long-lasting solutions.
• We establish our business relationships in a trustworthy, long-term and sustainable manner.
• We always stay on the cutting edge and support our clients in solving their challenges. In order to do this, we promote trainings, knowledge sharing and all kinds of education.
• We give our best so our customers see us as the ideal partner for the establishment and further development of their IT architecture.
• We are passionate about what we do: This is not a 9-to-5 job for us. We love what we do, which shows in our extraordinarily high level of commitment.
• Nothing is perfect. We never stop exploring new things, question existing things and continuously improve them when needed. We never follow a playbook just because it's there.
• No two days are the same. Every day is a new story, and we are prepared to tackle it, as a team and individually. We will always need to step out of our comfort zone.
• It will be challenging: it will not always be easy, but it will always be rewarding. We pursue our profession with great commitment and passion.

Leveraging resources efficiently is key both to the company's financial success and to protecting our planet's climate. To us, this means:

• We use the company’s resources carefully, above all time and money. We do not waste material or time, and we do not spend money on things that are not worth it.
• We create more than we consume and leave things better than we found them.
• We travel only when necessary and keep our professional carbon footprint as small as possible.
• We encourage a sustainable, healthy lifestyle for everyone, even if that means leaving our comfort zone or adjusting the workload.
• We grow sustainably: we do not waste resources and do not grow faster than our financial and organisational situation allows.
