A little bit about us and how we work

Work-life balance shouldn’t be a perk, but a given. We strongly believe in flexibility, knowing that creativity doesn’t always happen between 9 and 5. Our team takes ownership of their time and working hours. We work a 38 hour week (if you work full-time), don’t do overtime, and take 30 days of holiday a year (with an extra day off on your birthday).

Prefer working from home? No worries. We’re a flexible office. Some of the team split their time between the office and home, and we try to get together once a month. Everybody can decide what works best for them. If you’re keen to take a workation, just ensure the time zone is compatible with CET/Berlin.

Learning and experimenting is part of our culture. We’ll support your personal and professional growth with a development budget and bi-weekly one on one check-ins. There’s also plenty of room to shape how we work, our company culture – have a great idea in mind, we’re all ears.

We believe that bringing together diverse perspectives, expertise and ideas allows us to create more unique, imaginative and inspiring work. We’re committed to cultivating a workplace where everyone feels comfortable to be themselves and to try out new things with the risk of failing.
