Culture
Describing our Culture we say that we have a bit of the both worlds: reasonably and adequately corporate when it comes to policies, procedures, processes, hierarchy yet at the same time with a start-upish vibe - being very flexible, open, agile and with a team where we are friendly and down-to-earth.
Our mission and simultaneously core values are to create entertainment, infuse joy and spark change. Looking practically how things are happening in our team it is fair to say we are living these three values in our everyday lives.
