Core values
* Be a team player: We build things together. Diversity of opinions, open debate, shared goal and milestone development. We elevate each other to grow and succeed together.
* Be humble: No ego. No one knows everything. Joint learning. Shared success. Humility all the time. No bragging, but elevation of great work. We are respectful within and beyond our company.
* Act with integrity: We are authentic in everything we do. We transparently communicate both internally and externally. We give open feedback, treat each other fairly, and create psychological safety. We act morally and embrace sustainability – no hidden costs, no bad terms hidden in the TCs.
* Show ownership: Ownership at the heart of a team that wants to drive the future of the company with a growth mindset and creative pragmatism. Shared success instead of individual proliferation. Looking out for the development and wellbeing of those around you. Responsibility both internally and externally, for our customers, our partners, and for external impact.
* Be customer obsessed: We do everything with the customer in mind. We constantly ask ourselves the question: What is best for the customer? How is their experience affected by any changes we are making? From the first interaction to the ongoing relationship and the experience with our employees and partners.
