Speed ❌ Accuracy ✅ At wariCrew, we don’t celebrate getting things done quickly. Instead, we’ve established structured processes so speed isn’t a concern. What truly matters to us is the mental well-being of our team and the quality of the work they produce. Facing delays due to software issues? No worries—we'll work on bug fixes together. Unable to deliver because of illness? Rest and recovery come first. Stuck due to bad weather? Let's simply reschedule the shoot! At the end of the day, open communication within the team is what really counts. We strive to create the best possible working conditions, which naturally leads to high-quality results. If only more bosses understood that there’s nothing rewarding about rushing! 😮💨

The key to success – showing up every day! 💪

Practices At wariCrew That We Just Love 🫡 First Names Only! At wariCrew, we refer to each other by nicknames or initials, but that doesn’t mean we lack respect. On the contrary, we believe genuine respect comes from within and isn’t tied to titles or formalities. ⏰ You Are More Than the Time You Put In Whether you’re working 10 hours a day or just 5 hours a week, it’s the attitude and commitment to quality that matter most to us. We value the dedication you bring to your work, not the hours you log. 👥 We Operate as a Flat Organization There are no seniors or juniors here - only roles and the people who fulfil the responsibilities of each role. Since there is no hierarchy of roles, there is no reason to fight to climb the corporate ladder! 🤝 We Start with Trust Our default is to trust everyone to be respectful, diligent, and dedicated to their job. It’s our responsibility as individuals to ensure that trust is well-placed and deserved. What practices would you like to set up at your organization?

As a team that only meets about four times a year, you might think it would be awkward when we finally get together in person. But with wariCrew, there’s never a dull moment!  Whether as an icebreaker or just to liven up the conversation, we love playing games to keep things fun and engaging. Here are some of our favourites: 🎭 Charades: With so many movie buffs on the team, this game often turns into a lively competition. 🔫 Mafia: Lies, deception, and a whole lot of laughs - what more could we ask for? 🍻 Never Have I Ever: A hilarious way to uncover some of your teammates' secrets! What games do you play with your colleagues? We’re always looking for new ideas! 😝
