Culture
Flexibility is a big part of how the company works. A hybrid setup gives team members the freedom to choose where they work, with the simple expectation that they come into the office often enough for everyone to put faces to names!
When working on‑site, the team is based in a fantastic offer which is easy to reach by car or public transport—and yes, there’s plenty of free parking, so no daily parking‑space roulette. Learning and development are taken seriously here. Developers are given the time, space, and budget to pick up new technologies, sharpen their skills, and stay curious without having to do it all in their own time.
To top it off, every developer is kitted out with a MacBook or other Apple hardware, ensuring they’ve got solid tools to do great work (and no excuses for slow builds).
