Culture and benefits at devfair
Culture overview
Transparency and integrity are at the core of who we are. We created devfair from seeing the injustice and predatory behaviour that businesses and independent developers alike suffer from. We share bad news first. We don’t sugar coat. We don’t blame each other. We take responsibility as a team to resolve and improve ourselves and our product. Care for yourself. Put your own well being before anything else. Ask for help without reservation. Take time off when you need it. Switch off notifications. Do not compare yourself to others. We’re a team as opposed to a family. We look out for one another. When one succeeds, we all succeed. When one struggles, we all pitch in. However, your family is the most important, and we respect and encourage that. No ‘yes’ people. We are all about seeing past challenges in order to progress and take risks, otherwise we wouldn’t be building a startup. What we don’t want is people agreeing to maintain the status quo or to avoid perceived conflict. That’s a slippery slope into mediocrity. Intense debates and speaking up is a positive thing. Real progress over perception of progress. We avoid, outsource, eliminate and automate ‘busy work’ wherever possible. We care about the quality of what we put out there. We don’t do over the top bravado or ‘bro’-anything. We value kindness, consideration for others and hard work. Having fun together is extremely important. Whether that means in a day to day context, doing some activities together or a company holiday. However, no-one should be made to feel uncomfortable or left out.
Paid personal leave
We provide paid personal leave days for significant personal and/or unexpected events that are not covered by legislation. For example, death or illness of someone important to you, including pets
Additional non-statutory leave
We recognise that family comes before everything else and want you to have the time you need to bond with your newborn
Equity options
Remote company at heart
We are happy to support you working from home
Bonus holiday days
In addition to statutory holidays, we include bonus additional holiday days around events in the year, in order to maximise your rest and family time
Flexible work day
How we get ‘real work’ done is personal to each of us so we encourage you to structure your day as it suits you. We batch meetings where possible and make communication protocol clear to make this easier
