Well &#8211; times are NOT\u00a0normal. At least this is my perception. Well, I could tell you stories about &#8220;war of talents&#8221;. I could present the low numbers of graduated SW engineers coming from universities. But that is boring, that is just the &#8220;everybody is claiming and blaming&#8221; stuff.<\/p>\n<h3>We strive for best customer experience &#8211; so many ideas are waiting<\/h3>\n<p>No, I am writing this blog because times are just crazy.

First, the objective facts and figures; and second, the emotional, social, team, success and fun side. Both together build the package that motivates (or not).<\/p>\n<p>Overall the hard facts are kind of a hygiene factor. There is not that real a big difference between companies. You get a salary, holidays, education and that stuff.<\/p>\n<p>Isn&#8217;t it true: rather it is the\u00a0emotional side that motivates you to get up in the morning? Something you personally and your team is proud of? A new insight, challenge, learning, success or just fun at work?<\/p>\n<p>So my personal aspects I am working here are<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Very low bureaucracy: We do not get crazy in our bureaus &#8211; we rather get crazy about bureaucracy. Low bureaucracy starts with: clothes &#8211; no business attire is requested, just feel comfortable. Low\u00a0bureaucracy includes: we agree about rules and seriously play the rules, but if the rules do not fit anymore then we change the rules &#8211; by direct communication and not by a rule defining ivory tower council and tons of documentation.<\/li>\n<li>We do have conflicts; we have many of them. We treat conflicts as chance to improve. We give fair feedback, respect each other and have an interest to become more efficient and effective &#8211; more professional in our responsibility. We do not follow an open door policy; we do not have doors.<\/li>\n<li>We agreed on values that we strive to live. Read about\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.galaxus.ch\/en\/Wiki\/5033\" target=\"_blank&quot;\">our values<\/a> right in our company site. I like especially &#8220;piratisch&#8221;.
