Growing through ownership

Every company promises people tons of personal growth, or even better, that they will be the place for you to do your best work. And yes, we say that too. Our tagline is literally "Let there be growth!" But what does growth actually look like? How do you create an environment where it really happens? Here's how we do it. Spoiler alert: a €5,000 budget and some study days don't cut it.

How we got here

From the very start in 2019, our focus was on growing the business: taking on larger, more complex projects, increasing responsibility. We hired experienced people early and brought in outside help, choosing to learn from those who had already done similar things rather than figuring everything out ourselves.

In those early years, we didn't organize personal development. It just happened through the work. As challenges grew, people grew with them. Learning came from responsibility, from dealing with complexity, and from working alongside others with deep experience.

When our team grew past 15-20 people, we realized the way growth happened was too important to leave to chance. If we wanted people to keep growing through their work as the team got bigger, we had to figure out what made it work and how to create the right environment for it.

The principles that shape growth

For us, growth comes down to four principles.

Ownership is the first principle. You take responsibility for your own development. You decide if you want to deepen your expertise, take on broader responsibility, explore a different direction, or change what you contribute. That initiative comes from you. When you do that, we make room for it. We adjust your scope, responsibilities, or focus where it makes sense.

Then there's a second principle: the environment. We design for growth through real work. You get autonomy with real responsibility, and work that has real consequences. Most projects are close to clients and their operations, where your decisions matter and you have to make tough choices. You learn by doing, by making choices, and by seeing the impact of those choices over time.

What really defines that environment is the level of experience around you. We hire mostly senior people. They've already built things, led projects, or carried real responsibility somewhere else. This changes the quality of the work and the conversations. Ideas get challenged early. Discussions go deeper, faster. You pick up how experienced people think and make decisions just by working with them. If you're senior, you learn from peers all the time, which makes the work much more rewarding.

A third principle we learned: growth doesn't follow one path. You don't have to become a manager to grow. Some people go deeper into their expertise. Others lead bigger projects, products, or domains. You might move toward strategy, your colleague toward actually building and implementing. We recognize growth through what you contribute and the impact you make, not through job titles or some predefined career ladder.

The final principle is simple: we grow together. As we grow and take on bigger, more complex challenges, we expect you to grow with us. And when you do step up, we invest in you seriously.

How growth is supported in practice

Taking ownership of your growth doesn't mean figuring it out alone. We've set up support, regular check-ins, and concrete resources so you can actually grow.

Every year, you create a one-page growth plan that goes deeper than just 'what's my job.' You figure out what you want to get better at: technical skills, how you work, where you want to grow as a person. This becomes your roadmap for how you'll invest your time, energy, and development budget.

Everyone has a development coach who helps sharpen your thinking and challenge assumptions. You choose your own coach and can switch if your focus changes. Need technical expertise? Soft skills development? You find the right match.

You get €5,000 annually for development. No, not if budget allows, just €5,000. It's your budget to spend on conferences, courses, certifications, or coaching that fits your growth plan. Plus five paid study days to actually take the time to learn.

You get regular check-ins, peer feedback sessions, and monthly surveys that track how things are going. This happens continuously, not just during yearly reviews. Development conversations come up when you're taking on new responsibilities or shifting your focus.

Your colleagues play a big role in all of this. Sparring, feedback, and learning from each other, that's just part of everyday work. Because we hire mostly senior people, you're constantly learning from experienced colleagues around you.

None of this is about managing your development. We just give you what you need to make it happen.

Growing together

As we grow, things change. Bigger projects, tougher challenges, higher expectations. You keep learning, step up when needed, and take on more as we scale.

In return, we invest seriously in you. That means trust, real responsibility, colleagues who know their stuff, and everything you need to keep developing.

If you want to build meaningful things and own what you create, if you have ambitions and ideas to lead positive change, you're in the right place.

We set up the environment for growth. You decide which direction to take.

Let there be growth.
