Remote Work

You decide where you work from

"Most fears that have to do with people working remotely stem from a lack of trust"

We don't have any rules regarding remote work and let you decide what suits you best. It also depends on the customer but we always negotiate a maximum of three days per week in case the customer requires physical presence. We also try to get together at least twice a month in a coworking space in Geneva.

We might have a headquarters in the future, but we will always remain remote-friendly.

We will always provide you with the necessary material in order to perform your work from home. More details on that in the compensation section.

Advantages of Remote

Being remote has lots of advantages:

• We have access to amazing people globally. Having a diverse team is a strong competitive advantage and remoteness is an enabler of diversity.

• It allows us to think more deeply on better asynchronous collaboration tools and processes, and also on how to maximize uninterrupted work, and to better communicate internally and externally.

• It allows anyone in the company to choose its ideal work-life balance

Communication

With team members across a growing number of countries, clear communication is essential for us to stay connected and work together more efficiently.

Therefore, we use asynchronous communication with tools that invite collaboration, commenting, and editing, such as Google Suite tools (Google Docs, Google Sheets, etc.), Google Meet and slack for direct communication and Gitlab for our code collaboration.

These collaborative tools help us clarify our own ideas as we put them in writing, and give us all greater insight through the shared feedback.

Fewer Meetings

We firmly believe in the importance of the maker's schedule. So we only keep meetings that we feel add value. We'll cluster meetings together as much as possible, so our day doesn't get split up.

Every meeting has a pre-defined agenda scoped in a Google Doc, so the team can add questions and comments before the meeting. Sometimes, a meeting can even be cancelled if all issues were addressed in the document. Each meeting has a clear owner and the owner is responsible:

• to have a small deck for the meeting in order to increase attention of the audience

• to stick to the agenda and get each topics of the meeting covered in a timely manner

• to summarize the meeting in a minute document with next steps and deadlines.

We educate our customers to those best-practice rules in order to be as efficient as possible while working on their assignments.

Social time

While remote work has many benefits, extremes are never good and we therefore encourage our employees to find the right balance. We make sure to keep connected with everyone via:

• Fridays in a coworking space in Geneva

• Weekly team meeting

• Team building and annual retreat
