Company culture / DNA
Employees come first
The company always has to first take care of its employees. Then the employees will take care of the customers and the customers will take care of the company.
Flat hierarchy
In NUITEQ we have a flat hierarchy, where we work together and collaborate as a team and that there aren’t particularly any bosses that are “above” others. This ties in with our culture that everyone is equal.
Corporate Social Responsibility (Giving back)
We give back to the less fortunate through charity & volunteering and we share our success with our community through sponsoring.
Respect colleagues, reward the team and celebrate success
Respect your colleagues and their opinions no matter what, because everyone is different and has different valid views.
With respect for colleagues comes also the rewarding of the team. If the team does an amazing job, they should be rewarded for their work. We celebrate our success with quarterly parties, random cake every now and then and other perks.
Value and respect the customer
The customer pays our salaries and they help us to work on what we love doing.
Have fun / team building / relaxing office environment
We are very serious about doing a great job for our customers and partners, but it is important to have fun in the process and build relationships and maybe even friendships with colleagues. This goes hand in hand with offering NUITEQ staff a fun and relaxing office environment, where they can enjoy themselves, like a second home or a home away from home.
High priority customer support
A happy customer is likely to come back for more products and shares his positive experiences with others, resulting in more business, so we try to under promise and over-deliver.
Education
Internal learning and personal development are important to challenge ourselves and to grow as persons. We do this amongst others through hack-day projects, attending external and internal seminars, as well as code reviews.
Ask questions
Questions stimulate discussions and increases learning. Never be afraid to ask “dumb” questions, as there is no such thing as a dumb question.
Innovation / creativity / R&D / killer app
As an innovative technology company, we should always be creative, innovate and R&D new areas for the future and give the staff freedom and autonomy to develop their own ideas, as companies that don’t innovate will not develop themselves.
We always have the killer app mindset, which new idea, could be that next big thing that could propel us to new heights.
Failing is ok
It is ok to fail, as long as we learn from it and avoid it from happening a second time.
Disagreeing is ok
People are different and have different opinions. It is ok to disagree, as this stimulates discussion and can sharpens ideas.
Truly open door policy
The manager’s door is always open to listen to feedback to improve the company and the wellbeing of its employees.
