We screen all applications and might request some additional information, for example some examples of your best work or anything that provides additional context to your CV.
- If you pass our initial screening we will invite you for a first meeting in which you will sit down with our hiring manager for the job at hand. This meeting will ~1 hour and can be done over Skype.
- In most cases we would like to see how you manage and handle typical problems. Therefore we will create a "homework" assignment, that shouldn't take more than 1-2 hours to finish.
- After passing the previous steps we will schedule a contract meeting to discuss the terms and to wrap up the stipulations, if successful this is followed with a team lunch to get to know the rest of the team & vice versa.

How have you arranged the rules of the game of working as a team?
We have setup a social contract, they are a result of how we believe teamwork thrives best and basically boils down to:
-
Think first. Come with solutions, not with problems.
-
Do what you tell people you will do.
-
Keep track of yourself.
-
We can handle a lot of bad news, but we hate surprises.
On top of this, we as a team act based on these guidelines:
-
Trust > control: no politics, no fear
-
Community > structure: we don’t tell you in detail what & how, but feel free to ask for help
-
Agile > scrum: rules are good, break when needed
-
Quality > time: changing the world doesn’t happen overnight
