**What Makes Us Special**:

- **Accelerate your personal and career growth.** 10x your learning and networking opportunities by being exposed to multiple companies and teams each year. We give timely, candid, and direct feedback and expect you to do the same. We run 3-month performance reviews for each person internally and at our clients (with the key people you'll interact with).** **This helps us improve the team, maintain quality of service and proactively promote people who show sustained performance at the next level.
- **Structured onboarding and support network.** Who says small companies need to be chaotic? Our onboarding guide contains everything you need, and if you need more, there's our #help channel We proactively share our learning with each other through sharing sessions and help each other resolve complex situations through rubber-ducky peer-mentoring.
- **Aligned Incentives**: Uncapped quarterly bonuses (e.g. client renewal, client expansion, employee referral, and others) paid for people still with the company at the end of the quarter, plus equity.
- **Levels tied to compensation**. Your compensation changes when your title and level change. This is not the case with other companies (e.g. someone promotes, but they don't earn more money afterward). For fairness, we also practice the same compensation per level (L1-L10) and employment market. Bonuses are the same globally and across the company (everyone can see who is getting which bonus at the end of the quarter and why).
- **Paid sabbatical accrued every 3 years. **You get a paid month off every 3 years, on top of your regular holiday allowance. You can also optionally take a 1-month unpaid sabbatical every 12 months that must be approved 3+ months in advance to minimize the impact on client engagements and team workload.
- **[optional] 4**-**day workweek. **Free up space and time to pursue an MBA, travel for a longer time, or just do nothing. Our default is a 5-day workweek, you can opt in and out of a 4-day workweek with at least one month's notice to minimize the impact on the team's workload. The compensation impact is 80% of the salary in years 1-2, 85% of the salary in years 3, and 90% of the salary in years 4+.
- **All expense paid team retreats**. We meet in person every 6 months for a weeklong team retreat in a great location. We also encourage team members who are in the same cities or traveling to cities where other team members are in to meet and split the cost of coffee/lunch/dinner.
- **[optional] Paid retreats/workshops at clients**:Once in a while, we may be invited to a client's team retreat in Hamburg or Mallorca, or elsewhere. You're welcome to say no, but we've noticed that meeting in person for socializing has made our remote work way easier. And some of these are great fun.
- **Remote working**. We work distributed first. We recommend setting up a dedicated workspace for which you can choose to expense a MacBook, external monitor, ring light, room divider, and plants. As it can sometimes get lonely, consider that you'll need to proactively schedule in-person meetings, sports, or other activities that provide a good cutoff and help you recharge after work.
