1. Direct impact on end product

We encourage people to get energy and motivation from end product, which is a result of their work, rather than beauty and shortness of code.

2. English language

Practice shows that you will inevitably improve your level of English by working with us and using it in (nearly) all internal communication.

3. Working with modern technology

We love all modern tech. ...As long as it keeps productive and easy enough for onboard new people.

4. Awareness of company strategy

All employees are free to join to our roadmap meeting and speak freely, which makes everybody aware about how their work contributes to company success.

5. Zero bureaucracy

It is in everybody's interest to reduce time from good ideas and interesting project to the point when we launch them. That's why we optimised our flows for efficient collaboration between departments: business, design, tech.

6. Company retreats

Once or twice a year we decide on location where we gonna go as a team and spend week working and exploring new places together. We had great experience in Budapest, Prague, Madrid, Lisbon and Florence. You will be more than welcome to join us.
