Workplace and Culture
We work hard and we have fun in the same time. The importance of a fast ”learning speed" is hard coded into the company genes.
Employee surveys show we have an open discussion climate, work towards defined goals and co-workers feel they can develop with the company.
We dare to ask the stupid questions. We discuss before we decide and we argue about ”what is right” and not ”who is right”.
Once we decide we execute as a team – diversity in council and unity in command. Thats the kind of culture you will live in if you join the Steelwrist team.
