So, one continent at a time, we plan on changing this.OUR CULTURE To put it bluntly - it's about getting shit done and owning what you do. We don't hide behind fancy job titles or set up bureaucratic processes. Instead we treat our people equally, fairly and give them a ton of freedom and autonomy to create something awesome.We make mistakes, we learn from them and we back everything up with data and logic.In three years, we've grown to over 700 people and we're adding around 30 new additions each month.
