What is the office atmosphere like?
‘We don’t really have the arcade games, fussball, ping-pong tables or that sort of thing, but I guess it’s a cosy kind of non-corporate atmosphere, it just feels like you’re sitting in a house, and there’s no dress code.
I spent a lot of years working in organizations that were regimented and we were told what to do in many different ways, and I developed a very anti-authoritarian mindset by the time I was put in a position of authority.
The last thing I wanted to do was reproduce all of those things that I had disliked so much. Such that our employees aren’t really told what to do, or when to do it, or when to come into work, or what they can wear, and we don’t set deadlines at all-unless they are set for us by some external force like a regulatory agency. I don’t think that artificial deadlines are a good idea. They just create stress where it is not needed.’
