We had a feeling... but now it's official: fiskaly is a Great Place To Work®. So finally, after our decision in 2021 to take additional measures and improve existing structures to offer our colleagues a great work experience, we were ready to launch the Great Place To Work Survey at the end of last year. 

With a response rate of over 90%, the engagement of our employees and the results exceeded our expectations. The positive feedback we received makes us proud and grateful. At the same time, we now know where to improve and what other requirements we should attend to.

But one thing is clear to us. [What makes fiskaly a Great Place To Work are the people.](https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7029400099730456577) Each of us uniquely contributes to our corporate culture, where appreciation, respect, and cooperation are at the forefront.

We are happy to share some of the best results, where we achieved an incredible 100% approval from all participants: 

* Employees are treated fairly regardless of nationality or ethnicity.
* Managers trust employees to do a good job without constantly checking up on them
* Mental and emotional health is guaranteed in this workplace
* Taking everything into account, I would say this is a great place to work.

## 🤝 Actively collaborating and supporting each other

Our culture thrives on collaboration and support, encouraging teamwork across departments and valuing diverse perspectives and ideas. We prioritize respect and helpfulness, ensuring a welcoming and inclusive environment for all.

## 💡 Embracing growth and learning together

Here at fiskaly, we're all about growing and learning, individually and as a company. Embracing an entrepreneurial spirit that includes not only personal and professional development but also market expansion and focusing on the needs of our customers. We love thinking outside the box and taking smart risks – it's how we discover exciting possibilities and push boundaries to reach new levels of success.

## ⚖️ Prioritizing work-life balance

We put the well-being of our team members first and understand the importance of balancing work and life to show up at work as your best self. This includes flexibility, respect for your personal time, and a workplace that's all about taking it easy when needed. We work hard, but also take time for a break to chat and recharge.

## ✍ Building trust through effective delegation

We trust in each other's skills to be great at our jobs. Everyone's unique talents are the key to fiskaly’s success, and we value delegating clear communication and trust in our daily work.

This way, we can work more efficiently and effectively towards our common objectives.

## 💻 Committing to continuous evaluation and improvement

Our goal is to regularly evaluate how we are doing and get even better at it, from our day-to-day processes to the way we work together. Our colleague’s feedback is essential in refining our approach, addressing concerns, and actively working towards a work culture that supports every team member in doing their best work.

How our work culture makes fiskaly a Great Place To Work

Do we fit together? In the Cultural Fit we try to find out if we and you fit. We want to create a good working environment and atmosphere. So this step is very meaningful to us.
You got our attention with your application! Hence we will contact you to proceed with the application process. Here you can read how the Cultural Fit works and what to expect from the interview in three easy steps. 👇

## 1. Arranging the Cultural Fit

Our fiskaly team will reach out to you to arrange an interview for the Cultural Fit. You only need to enter your availability in the calendar link which is attached to the “Interview Availability” email. After that, you will get a confirmation email when your interview will take place. Please be sure to check your spam folder too - sometimes our emails end up there.
One thing is for sure: I was thrilled with how quickly and professionally the arrangement took place for my Cultural Fit.

## 2. Are we a cultural fit?

The answer starts right here. On the one hand, we want to plunge right into our culture with you and show you what it means to work for fiskaly. On the other hand, we would like to get to know you as a person. The main question is: Do we fit together? There are two different approaches depending on what position you are applying for.

### Non-technical Cultural Fit

From the non-technical point of view, questions about your preferred working environment, your experiences in the past, and how you react to criticism are good starters for us to get the conversation rolling. In addition to that, we like to ask about your accumulated knowledge in the respective industry you applied for. Hint: Prepare for those questions.

### Technical Cultural Fit

The technical cultural fit is adapted to applicants who applied for a job in one of our development departments. It is similar to the non-technical Cultural Fit regarding the starting questions, but we like to spice it up by asking development related questions like “Did you ever make a mistake which led to a site/app crashing?” and “What was your reaction to that? What were your learnings?”.
Our main goal of the interview, regardless of whether it is the non-technical or the technical Cultural Fit, is to get to know you as a person. It helps us find out if you are a great fit for fiskaly.
We like to chat in a relaxed atmosphere and I can assure you our fiskaly employees are very dear so there is no need to be nervous. 😄

## 3. It's time for questions 🤓

The Cultural Fit is coming to an end and now it’s your turn to ask questions. We are happy to answer everything you want to know. Whether you have questions about our culture, about fiskaly, or our interviewers: Don’t be shy, just ask.
We at fiskaly hope you like our Cultural Fit as part of our application process. If our cultures fit together we can’t wait to meet you again in our next step: The Skill & Team Fit.

To tie in with the blog on how easy fiskaly's application process works we want to deliver you a more detailed insight on the second step of the process. Click here and dive right into reading about the charms of our Cultural Fit.

The Cultural Fit - Bringing cultures together

If you arrived at this step of the application process it means our cultures harmonize. You like our company culture and we liked you as a person. It’s time for the Skill & Team Fit, the third step of our application process! We are as excited as you are, so let’s dive right into the three steps. 👇

## 1. Meeting the team

The procedure repeats. 🔁 You will get an email from us where we would like you to enter your availability in the calendar. After that you will get a confirmation email of our interview date. We will also attach a small challenge to that email which we would like you to prepare for our upcoming interview. This time you will be in an interview with your potential future team.

## 2. Ready for a challenge?

You probably guessed it right already - you are meeting your potential future team because we want to know if you are a good fit for us. Our team members and our teamwork are very important to us - that’s why we set such a high value on finding the right person. This is our get-to-know phase where everyone introduces themselves. Furthermore, we would like to know what skills you can inspire us with and what you can contribute to our team on our journey to make fiscalization processes easier for our customers. Your prepared challenge sheet is the perfect way to show us what you are capable of. Again there are two different approaches now regarding the challenge.

### Non-technical challenge

The non-technical challenge includes tasks which are related to the department you are applying for. I applied for the position of Content Creator in the marketing department, hence i got tasks like writing a short paragraph of a blog, creating a LinkedIn post and correcting a text.

### Technical challenge

The technical challenge contains different kinds of tasks. I talked to Francesca, our new Developer, and she told me that she prepared a coding challenge for her Skill Fit. She got the information she needed from our development team, coded the frontend of an application and presented her work to the team step-by-step.
All in all, different positions demand different challenges. The main goal for us is to find out if you fit in our team, what your working process looks like and what skills you can bring to the team.

## 3. It’s time for questions - again 🤓

Like in the Cultural Fit interview we take our time for a question session for the Skill & Team Fit as well. You can ask us everything you want to know about our teams, our employees and about the skills we can bring to the table. Again, don’t be shy - we love it when you show interest.
With those three points of the Skill & Team Fit your application process is finished - you can lean back.

### What happens next?

Afterwards, our team needs some time to talk about how the whole process went. If you are our fit you will get a job offer and hopefully become an official member of fiskaly. 😎

On we go with the third step of our application process. Here you can explore detailed insights of our Skill & Team Fit. What challenges await you as a applicant and what is the Team Fit all about? Let's find out.

Yay! We are a Great Place to Work®.
