Why us?

1. You share our vision. This is a good start to head for the same objectives and mission goals. It is of greatest importance to us to maximize positive impact on the world.

In the end, this is the purpose of our company. And this is the reason for our work.

2. You share the same values. We love our culture code! You don’t have to have the same feeling right away. And you don’t have to be like that completely none of us are.

But we believe it’s better to be driven by shared values rather than by rules and titles. ;-)

3. You believe this is the very best (working) environment for you. At least for the foreseeable future. Like Akio Toyoda, we believe the key to making quality products is to develop quality people.
