We also have a beautiful office with lots of nice little things (like free lunch, a ping-pong table and an always-filled fridge) and a particularly pleasant atmosphere among the colleagues who want you to work in the office.
  • No micro-management. I neither have the time nor the desire to write work plans for everyone. You have to be able to manage 95% yourself. Only the really big milestones are put together. Working independently is a must.
