We believe teamwork and collaboration is the foundation for great products and an attractive workplace. Therefore everyone is part of a team of 5-8 colleagues with complementary skills committed to a common purpose. Every team plans their work in 3 week sprints and delivers solutions together as a team. We mostly use graphical programming tools such as Simulink or ASCET so that we can focus on the products we develop.
Our CEO Martin Lundstedt often says that “going to work should be fun for real”. We think that too! Therefore we organize hack days every 10 weeks where everyone can spend time on their own project for competence development, innovate new things or improve our development environment. We also have social activities to get to know each other.
