Why we're a great workplace

• We laugh every day

   

  No joke. Our team knows how to deliver a good time, from slow Monday morning breakfasts to the mid-week grinding hours, bubbling weekend preparations, and extracurricular outside-of-office activities. A happy face is never far away.

  Not saying that everything’s always perfect. But even on the darker days, this inherent tendency to have fun makes life at the office that much more enjoyable. If nothing else works, there’s always someone goofing around or spreading joy in our Slack with classic gifs.

   

• No corporate bullshit

   

  There’s really no other way to put this. Our hierarchical structure resembles a pancake with a fluffy pile of whipped cream on top. In practice, this shows as an authentically laid-back atmosphere, where everyone’s well-being and concerns are truly respected. Anyone can talk to everyone about all things – people are treated equally.
  
  Another way to find evidence of this is to look at the speed of change. When someone (anyone) gets a good idea, or even just an idea worth trying out, it will often have been implemented or tested by the end of the day. It’s in no one’s interest to slow down our development, so people are always encouraged to think about new ways to make work more enjoyable and generate more value as a company.
  

   

• Freedom and responsibility

   Pancake hierarchy means everyone is given the freedom to do stuff and the opportunity to affect things. At the same time, everyone is responsible for their actions and results. There are no free riders. New teammates are expected to perform from day one.

  That’s not to intimidate anyone, but rather to encourage people to challenge themselves to use their freedom. Whatever the position, freedom, and responsibility make work meaningful. There’s a real atmosphere of lifting each other higher. 

• Shape your position and the company

  Our open positions are never a cage that we lock and lose the key to, once a new person comes along. Naturally, there needs to be some defined focus for everyone, but you’re free to shape your work how you see best. We don’t really mind even if a developer turns designer or vice versa because that means they have a true passion for the craft.

  It’s not just the position, either. Feel free to shake things up on the company level, if you can present how we should do something differently. Want to introduce a new design tool that will cut off hours of work in user testing? Go for it. Got any ideas on how we could improve project handovers? We’re all ears.
  

• Room for learning and growth

  Goes with the previous point. Evermade is a fail-safe zone. The following has been heard from our CEO regularly: “It’s always better to try and fail instead of not trying at all.” The best way to learn is by doing things, especially by doing things you haven’t done before.

  If you don’t feel like doing it right away, you can take a monthly learning day for studying something before implementing it into your work. And then there’s the team. People show respect for others’ work and are usually more than happy to help or give feedback. We encourage everyone to develop personally as much as on a company level.
