• Your ideas are welcome. If you know how to improve our workflow, our product, our processes, don't be shy to share it.
• In our weekly meetings, we do a fun thing called "fast parrot". Everybody, including the CEO, is involved. It's a little weird and fun at the same time, especially if you are doing a meeting from a public place.
