Remote but always connected

How do we manage a team of about 80 team members located in 8 different countries and 6 different time zones? As surprising as it sounds, this is something easy and totally natural at Code.me. We use multiple tools allowing us to communicate with each other like if we were seating in the same office. Working around the clock, we centralize and coordinate our tasks with complex project management softwares and with the support of a small team of international coordinators. Finally, our management team travels often from one office location to another and regularly host international web conferences for the entire team.

Vibrant and fast paced

When you walk in any of our location you can literally feel the high energy level. There’s a buzz. Doors are open. Whiteboards are filled with hieroglyphics. People are getting stuff done. Meetings are short and to the point.

Participative Approach

Everybody is giving everybody else credit. Ideas are judged on the merits, not on who came up with them. Our team members are doing what they are good at and in the right roles. Every team member, from the CEO to the country manager, is on the same page.

Passion

At Code.me, we just love what we do. Our team members could be doing a hundred other things, but actually choose to work themselves silly over the particular product or service we build at Code.me.

Boundaries stifle innovation, that’s why we have none

Our culture is significantly about eliminating these boundaries. It’s about connecting people regardless of where they are located geographically and in the hierarchy. It’s about giving clients more channels into the organization – and team members more access out to clients.

Social Media as a service but also as a lifestyle

Yes, we provide a large set of Social media products and services. Everyday, we support our clients investing more in the power of social media in order to increase their brand awareness and ROI but, as a company, this is something we have totally embraced. Social Media is totally part of or processes and day to day activities. We don’t argue, we listen to each other. It’s not a war of words. We don’t have to win any arguments. But we can listen to what other have to say and use that to further our understanding. Value Dialog is at the core of our organization. We listen, respond, encourage the other person to share more and find mutual understanding.

Transparency

Communication is open and free-flowing. Hard issues are addressed directly, not ignored. Transparent communication is a hallmark at Code.me.

People are the center of innovation

In other words, we empower people. Whether it’s allowing them to find others who are like minded and can encourage one another, or whether it’s allowing them to tap into the wisdom of others in a group to help solve problems. Code.me is clearly people-centric, not process-centric

Mutual Respect

Everyone shares a mutual respect for what each party brings to the table and celebrates wins from wherever they come. Heated but healthy debate leads to decisions that are accepted, even if not everybody agrees with them.

Client-obsessed

Code.me is manically focused on defining who our clients are, what the client wants/needs, and what the client will value enough to pay for now. It starts well before a single line of code is written. We are rarely surprised by customer issues because we are proactive and process-oriented about understanding everything we can about our clients.

Integrity

We maintain the highest integrity in the way we interact with our clients, handle team member issues, write code, and go about our daily business.
