What I enjoy most about S&F is the feeling of being part of a team and having true friends who have my back. The Developmental Sprints that the company uses actually helped me to come to a major life decision to relocate to a new country, after Russia invaded Ukraine. I also felt support and care from Nick as I had this major life transition. In addition to these big things, there is also the flexible work structures, great and smart teams, and the encouragement for me to take the initiative in my own leadership and work. Plus a lot of support around increasing my tech skills and overall education, and in mentoring me to be a more capable professional.

S&F are great teammates — this is the best thing about the job for me. I love the energy in the HR department and how quickly we can make all of our ideas come true! My own transformational work is encouraged with S&F — and as they grow, so do I, and vice versa. Here you can try different things and understand what your own perspectives are, and work to change them. Plus the company is very open to critical feedback. They can’t always make the changes I think need to be made, but they are completely open to hearing the feedback itself. I love that.

This is a team with a high level of psychological self-awareness. Plus, from a pure working standpoint, I find they give me interesting and challenging tasks that keep me busy and feeling full. But more importantly than that, after just 2 months at S&F I managed to overcome one of my personal problems related to confidence, using the Developmental Sprints. These Sprints let me discuss and solve not only professional but personal problems as well. You can discuss any professional problem with anybody and solve it in an ecological manner — they really do encourage it! Here you can be yourself and achieve your goals, which isn’t something I’ve always experienced as going hand-in-hand.

For me, there’s a list of things that I really enjoy about S&F. And of course, I get to do Developmental Sprints! Those Developmental Sprints give me the ability to work on self-development by getting feedback from my colleagues and giving it to them. I learn how to reflect on the feedback and work on my points of growth. Also, by learning to understand myself, I learn to understand other people. This leads to less conflicts and increasing ability to resolve the ones that do come up. S&F is always looking for and working on improvements that can be implemented. They really do take growth seriously. It’s also a friendly atmosphere at work. Processes are flexible yet have clear structure/algorithms at the same time.

The main distinguishing feature of S&F is that management and owners openly admit that they are not perfect. They are ready to admit that they make mistakes and have blind spots, just as they are ready to admit their strengths. In addition, they call on employees to do the same, which I strongly dislike. I especially like that resources and time are invested to create conditions where I can work on my beliefs — good ones, bad ones, ones that get in the way, and ones that help me to grow. It seems like everyone wins from this — the company, me, even our clients. At the same time, being in S&F is not always a sweet pie, but here you will definitely find all the ingredients to prepare your favorite dish for yourself! But overall, I am very grateful that I chose to work for S&F, and that the company saw a match with me.
