You are good at what you do! You are a human. You are a peer in the team at The Factory. And you too like to break stuff. Mostly on purpose we hope! The Factory colleagues are driven by natural curiosity. So sometimes we break the rules, just so we can dive deeper into whatever it is we are curious about. We work in an environment where everyone can ask for help which is fundamental for looking for solutions where others give up.

We get together and share everything we have learned. We discuss customer cases and stick our heads together to find solutions to problems which need solving. This is where we like to innovate. And we tinker with Arduinos. Money is not our main driver: having fun at work is, being able to count on each other and truly being part of a team is what substantiates the feeling of being an Engineer at The Factory. And then we break stuff again.

Making mistakes is a human trait and agreat way to learn! But we can’t always be breaking stuff. Because in the meantime technology can change at super speed, so we force ourselves to keep up. Everyone at The Factory has access to the latest training portals. We like organizing and attending meetups and we like challenging one and other on knowledge and decisions. People learn in different ways, and everyone is encouraged to find the way that suits them best.

Mistakes. Books. Google. YouTube. Life events. We believe that sharing knowledge gained from all of this increases our growth and allows us to contribute to a more human and equal world where people are seen as people and respected for who they are. All that we have learned we give back to each other and to our customers by organizing workshops and events.
