We are polymorphic, we are good at code as we are good at our socials(parties) with that being said, our product development teams have adopted the agile methodology. We are getting good at it and we aspire to perfect. As you know, agile methodology is all about developing at a sustainable pace, avoiding the death marches! you know that routine, don’t you? it’s one month from delivery, here’s a sleeping bag, you can try to sleep under your desk! giving people their lives back via a predictable delivery schedule is one of the greatest gifts the agile gods have given us.
If we are interviewing you for a job, we care as much about what you do out of work vs what you are capable off in office. If we spot a resume, wherein hobbies are surfing the internet, watching movies that could be a spot of bother. Not that there is anything wrong with those activities, but if your work-life provides time only for these activities, then we may have to pass on you. We love our employees who live their lives to the fullest and we will vouch for that. So, if you are part of the Aconex family and if you are at your desk on a Saturday, you better have a damn good reason.
Aconex places great emphasis on mentorship and has formed a culture where team goals are always set above individual goals. It supports an environment where everybody is heard and decisions are made on team inputs rather than individual authority. Work is structured in such a way that it is highly visible to the team and managers in its alignment with the agreed objectives. Aconex is open to BYOD (bring your own device) to help employees be more proactive in responding to work situations on the go. "We'd prefer happy, productive employees who leave on time over grumpy, tired employees thinking that staying late gets them in the boss's good books. The quality of work from a happy employee is far better than the opposite," The company sets aside a special training budget for the staff to enhance their skills. Engineers are sent to conferences in Australia, Goa, Bangalore, and other places to keep them abreast with the latest technologies.
