Hours / Time Management

We have a flexible approach to time-management and we believe in giving team members the opportunity to control their own schedules. We’d like to see a world in which work can fit around your life, not the other way around! In practice this generally means a few pre-agreed sync points a week, with the rest of your working time entirely up to you – we do not have mandatory core hours.
