5. craftworks // developer culture
Education: internal workshops (craftworks day), mini-talks, external workshops, conferences,
anonymous feedback from your team
Remote / Home office
Team building: half-year goals, team retreat
Clarify everything: project reviews, sprint review, one-on-one meetings
Salary: a CEO/CTO should realise when someone is underpaid and increase it.
Shares: when it is a product. Employee stock, ownership plan for employees.
Workplace: size-adjustable tables and ergonomic chairs
Device of your choice: Don’t save here.

6. craftworks // standard of performance
Quiet Time: don’t talk too much in the main developer room. Instead,
provide meeting rooms and have an internal chat
No internal bureaucracy: Get them what they want – computer,
eduction, books and make it very easy -> talk only to one person
Act like an owner: Do something besides daily tasks and take
responsibility for some things -> half-year goals
Meetings: no meeting without a reason, no meeting without at least some
agenda, no unattended devices

8. GIRLS IN TECH
“– You work in an industry, which is largely dominated by men. Although, it’s
evolving very fast and offers more and more opportunities for women… Do
you still see differences in working as a female or male developer?
– No.”
Barbara Ondrisek, software developer,
CEO and co-founder ChatbotsAgency

9. GIRLS IN TECH

company culture

women too
