It’s time for us to tell you more about our team and our company values. You can consider this text our manifesto if you want to become part of our team (we are almost ALWAYS hiring), or you can save the list and use it as a guide for your current team.

At Scale Final, we pride ourselves on our strong values and work culture but recognize that our environment is not for everyone.

If this doesn’t appeal to you, here are 5 reasons not to work with us.

To summarize, Scale Final thrives on flexibility, fast pace, autonomy, startup vibes, constant learning, and risk-taking.

Let’s dive in. 

1. Flexibility over structure

The world is constantly changing, and ignoring that is like an illusion. Routines and strict structures are only good for setting an example, but that’s not how things usually work in our daily lives. Why treat work as something fundamentally different from daily life?

However, if you’re comfortable with predictability and fixed routines, our flexible approach might feel confusing.

2. Fast pace of development

Our projects move at lightning speed. Team members usually start the day with one task and end it with a completely different one. This wouldn’t be so easy if we didn’t believe in incremental work. That’s why we work in sprints, where we cut the tasks into smaller pieces until nothing more can be done. This requires us to think quickly and adapt.

Those who prefer a more leisurely, slow-paced work environment might find our rapid progress stressful and unsustainable.

3. High autonomy and self-direction

Of course we have bosses. But they are actually there to manage you and sometimes help you. They’re not there to do the work with your hands. At Scale Final, everyone is their own boss. That means you have no bad guy in the office because you’re in charge and set the deadlines and hardships yourself. Although this offers freedom, it also requires high self-motivation and initiative.

If you thrive under close supervision and clear, consistent instructions, our high autonomy culture might be challenging.

4. Startup vibe

As a startup, we are always on our toes and ready to take on new challenges. This includes changing roles and responsibilities. This means that constant learning and dealing with uncertainty are essential.

If you’re looking for a stable, predictable work environment, our constant evolution is not for you.

5. Constant learning

This constant learning is exciting. Just like in daily life, you learn new things every day and how to do those things differently. But this also be daunting. It’s a challenge, especially when you learn that you didn’t do your best before. No one will stop you from changing your specialty and stepping into the unknown at Scale Final.

If you prefer to have a clear area of expertise without having to regularly venture into the unknown, our culture of endless learning and exploration may not suit you.

6. Risk-taking

It’s part of our DNA. You’ll never learn anything if you don’t leave your comfort zone and try something new/unusual. We don’t just encourage taking risks, we celebrate them. This will only take us so far. It requires us to be comfortable with change and have a high tolerance for failure. Our risk-taking goes hand in hand with the need to make quick decisions.

If you find setbacks particularly daunting or prefer a more guaranteed course of success, our approach to risk and failure may be too overwhelming for you.
