Our office is located in a lovely old warehouse on Islands Brygge, where we host social events, keynotes, Fifa tournaments, morning runs (and swims), friday bars, board game nights, family LEGO days and much more.

We are organized with a very flat hierarchy without unnecessary project managers, but with team leads who also have technical backgrounds. Our team is very international and so far includes people from 14 different countries. Our company language is English.

A couple of times each year we press pause on our daily projects and retrieve to a remote location. We get together for socialising and hacking on side projects - we call this Shape Weekend. It is a lot of fun.
