🥳 We all know the benefits of a great company culture.

🤔 But how do you foster that and create a true community feel?

➕ Then add on the fact that you’re a consultant so most of your working time is spent with your customer rather than your company.

Here’s how we do it:

🎉 VeriFriday 🎉
Dedicated time away from customers to improve, reflect, share and discuss ideas - either together or individually.

🎉 VeriConf 🎉
An annual retreat where we meet, bond and dig into the future (and past) of Verifa and the industry.

🎉 Opt-ins 🎉
The freedom to participate in initiatives that align with our passions. And the freedom to take responsibility and drive whatever we find is important.

🎉 Transparent Economy 🎉
The economy is fully transparent - even our salaries are in the open - which fosters trust, collaboration and understanding.

🎉 Friday-feelings 🎉
A weekly meeting where we are encouraged to share the emotions we’ve experienced during the week.

🎉 Seed2Tree 🎉
A space to discuss ideas which could grow into well-defined problem descriptions or solutions resulting in blog posts, new products and meet-up topics.

Thanks to Albert for articulating this so well and explaining how this helps not only the employee but also delivers value to our customers. More of Albert’s wisdom here 👉 https://buff.ly/3YeSfdK

Thank you DevOps Skåne and Foo Cafe for such a warm welcome last week. 🫶

Courtesy of Foo Cafe, here’s the recording of Lauri’s talk on Service Levels, Error budgets, and why your dev teams should care.

🚀 Developers make changes.

😌 Operations want to keep systems stable.

🤝 Service Levels exist as a concept to tie these seemingly contradictory goals together.

But Service Levels are mostly understood as an extension to monitoring, which tends to fall under the operations domain. In this talk, Lauri looks at Service levels and Error Budgets through the lens of an end-user-oriented developer team.

We recently wrapped up VeriConf, our annual offsite! Despite being apart this year, we still had loads of fun and made significant strides in aligning our company and crew goals 🎉

From honest reflections to exciting discussions about our future, this year’s VeriConf was one of our most productive yet!
