Oh
and we dont have an office.
Huh?
Yes, you read that right. We are a remote team located in Europe, Asia, Africa and Latin America.
To some people that sounds a little strange. However weve been doing it successfully for the past 6 years.
And, experience has taught us that this doesnt work for everyone: we dont do office politics (theres no office!), we dont sit around in meetings all day pretending to work, and we dont micromanage.
We recruit people who enjoy being busy, take pride in doing a good job, and who appreciate being treated like an adult.
Most of all we have built an exceptional culture
we believe in what were doing.
