There is a big 'legacy' code base that needs to be maintained, which is old, grown code, but that's usually just a really small part of the daily work (maybe 1-2 bug fixes per month). All the new code bases have a focus of high quality & maintainability.

Kommentar

All new stuff is documented well, but it is also tried not to overdocument stuff, so not to create to much documentation (which will then get outdated).

Kommentar

Automatic CI/CD pipelines, synthetic tests, etc. are in place and working well.

Kommentar

Which tech is used is a team decision.

Kommentar

While contribution to open-source-software is not prevented, it's also not getting encouraged a lot. I did not contribute to any open source project yet, but if the situation arises, it would certainly be okay to do.

Kommentar

Feature planning is a collaborative process with the team.

Kommentar

It's an everlasting process to try to reduce time spent in meetings and it get's better and better over time. We highly try to avoid 'this could have been an e-mail meetings' but it's not always possible.

Kommentar

In theory yes, but in praxis it's often really hard to get market feedback quickly, because the devs are not as much involved with clients as they should be. Due to recent organisational changes this can only improve though.

Kommentar

This is something we are definitely struggling with, because a lot of details are often unclear when starting a new feature/project.

Kommentar

We have regular techtalks with internal speakers (multiple per month), and monthly techtalks with (GREAT!) external speakers. Additionally we have a Security course that's always running where we can progress over time. Once or twice a year we meet physically for dev days where presentations etc. are given and every 1-2 years we meet in Montreal for a huge dev event with internal & external talks etc.

Kommentar

Everyone is willing to help out, we had a lot of juniors already and they stay for a long time.

Kommentar

We had the craziest switches in the past already, from dev to technical support to sales engineer, obviously from dev to management etc, all possible.

Kommentar

Very safe environment, no one shouts at you or similar. Failing is part of growth.

Kommentar

Everyone can work in their preferred way, but there are tasks, activities or projects that require team collaboration.

Kommentar

New high-end laptop every 3 years.

Kommentar

Working hours are flexible, but it's a given that meeting times must be respected. 2 fixed days where everyone is in the office, 3 days of your own choosing (homeoffice or office).

Kommentar

Really, really nice chairs, table soccer and a nice camera lab.

Kommentar

No pressure for overtime at all. Sometimes 'late' meetings happen due to the time difference to Montreal (headquarter), not later than 18:00/19:00 and quite rare.

Kommentar

Fair payment, yearly bonus & food vouchers (edenred) or the Klimaticket Austria

Kommentar

Super great atmosphere, everyone is super nice and a lot of people are also doing private activities outside the office, e.g. we have a Dungeons & Dragons group, recently started a gaming discord server for some after work games.

Kommentar

Feedback is much appreciated, communication is key

Kommentar

As it's mostly a technical team we have a quite high male employee percentage, but that's a given in IT. Atm probably 80:20? The backgrounds a super diverse, we have people from all countries.
