We have an attractive workplace where we are known to have an awe-inspiring culture. A workplace that we can proudly recommend.
We strive to become a diverse group of people who value our differences and listen respectfully to each other’s ideas. We feel that each of us is growing professionally and at the same time having a lot of fun doing it.
We have the mandate to pursue our customers’ satisfaction. We get pride by harvesting from our innovative ideas in combination with developing the proper technical solutions.
New employees become team member from day one. They will quickly notice how glued together all the teams are, all for one and one for all, where all members share domain knowledge.
We measure our efforts by their impact on our users, and it has transformed the way we think about output. We make things simpler by continually adjusting our solutions in iterative steps based on what we learn.
We are recognised for using state-of-the-art technologies, and we always promote exploring new things as long as they take us one step further towards our goals and vision.
Our agile process is constantly examined, but we now feel that it has reached a level where it's truly enhancing our efforts.
our mantra; the number of bugs must always be low. Our platform is blessed with a minimum of legacy code, and the code is easy to read, change and maintain. It is also a successful launchpad for developing new apps.
We don’t overthink release plans. Instead, we deploy our apps when there is an added value for the users.
All the contributing factors above give each of us a clear purpose that makes us leap into action, eager to take on any challenge.

The process - How we recruit
Management review and interview
If the applicant finds our products and our culture interesting, and if we have a good sense of the applicant’s knowledge, experience and values, we proceed to Step 1 in our team-based recruitment process.
Step 1. Code test
The purpose of a code test is not to expose the applicant to advanced mathematical problems or algorithms, but rather to see how the person considers software development in terms of design, structure, readability, testability and maintainability. The test takes a few hours and can be completed at home in peace and quiet.
Step 2. Team review
This is where the team takes over in the process. The teams have access to the applicant’s code test solution together with some background information about their education and experience, as well as Samuel's, Markus’, Axel’s or Samuel’s notes from the first interview. Based on this information, the team decides whether they want to meet the person for a team interview or not.
Step 3. Team interview
Since we believe that software development is about cooperating with people who have different types of expertise, it’s important to gauge the applicant’s ability to collaborate effectively. In the interview, the applicant and the team get the opportunity to assess each other’s skills and values, while simultaneously testing how easily they can communicate. Teams get to make their own decisions about the person/role that will be added to their team. Human resources are never assigned by management. This means that the team has ownership over their group. They decide how their capacities need to be expanded. In the interview, the team has a chance to discern what the applicant brings to the table and how well they’ll be able to cooperate. There is no reason why management should try to distribute skills when the team members know what they need. The combination of code test and team interviews has been good for us, with very successful recruitment so far.

4th and final step. Reference checking
Equally important as all the above is checking the applicant’s references. We always talk with at least three references (preferably previous managers). This is the final step before we negotiate terms with the candidate.
Thank you, you’ve made it this far! Hopefully you like what you have read and want to join our journey.
