Our Culture and Values

Over the past couple of years our Dev team have developed a set of values by which we live on a daily basis - it is OUR values that WE decided on and it gives us a framework to deal with our day to day challenges and defines the culture that we subscribe to.

New members to the team are expected to subscribe to these values. These values can be summed up in the following bullet points:

People, relationships and decisions

  • We are one team and are part of one business.
  • We protect each other and our business.
  • We share our knowledge and experience with those who can benefit
  • We listen to each other with an open mind without interruption
  • We take key decisions based on reasoning and not rank

Ethical and cohesive behaviour

  • We take responsibility for our attitudes and our actions.
  • We are passionate about our work and proud of what we accomplish
  • We communicate when we are frustrated and aim to have constructive discussions.
  • We value our diversity and encourage an environment where people feel safe.
  • We behave with integrity and positively challenge destructive behaviour

Expertise and results

  • We do a lot more by doing less, better and faster
  • We make growth and learning part of our DNA
  • We dont fixate on past mistakes, but constantly aim to improve for the future
  • We foster a culture that takes responsibilty and not one that blames
  • We strive for perfection and always do what is best for our customers

Our Engineering Processes

We subscribe to Agile Methodologies with daily standup meetings.
