Imagine yourself surrounded by competent and playful engineers who dare to deploy several times per day while they are developing and supervising the systems that run all the payment transactions at Spotify. They are agile and always strive for the thing that gives the most value, in all requirements “Is this really the most important thing to do right now?“. When in the office, the Squads area is either filled with the silence of concentration or hilarious laughter! If someone is working from home they are still in the loop as the Squads Slack channel is by far the most chatty in the company.
