Perks, Benefits and Work Culture
We treat all our employees as adults. We think that you can do your best with a freedom to experiment, sense of ownership of your work, license to fail and when you have peers who care just as much as you about their art. We default to transparency because everyone can contribute to anything, and it's only possible if you get to know what's going on.We believe in having the best tools for the job. We are happy paying customers of Adobe Creative Suite, Sketch, Invision, GitHub, Principle and Slack, some of the most important tools in our workflow.We think that you can do your best with a freedom to experiment, sense of ownership of your work, license to fail and when you have peers who care just as much as you about their art.We prefer to mingle with the community through meetups and conferences on topics as broad as daylight. And at the end of the day we accept that we are humans, fallible to error, learning through errors together. After all, there's comedy in error too.Skills: design projects,design,art,product design,ux,interaction design
