With all that was said before, it must be becoming clear now that we don't quite just expect developers, designers and anyone else at CodeLeap to simply do their jobs and perform the tasks as asked.
We give complete freedom to everybody because we believe that's how people perform the best, and we expect everybody to manage their time and tasks responsibly.
Because CodeLeap is such a young company, there is of course a massive potential for growth within us – we are always happy to share our vision in our weekly calls and everyone is welcome to bring ideas and offer help across all areas. There’s nothing stopping your growth here, feel free to have ideas and take new responsibilities!
In short, we expect that our team members will:
At CodeLeap everyone is learning – and in order to learn, we need to get out of our comfort zones. Making mistakes is part of the process, and it's ok!
The important thing is to be transparent and communicate your errors to the relevant people. The sooner you ask for help, the better.
There will always be someone to help you when you fck up*!
Similarly, we expect you to have this level of solidarity towards your colleagues' learnings and errors. Don't get upset about a more junior team member making silly mistakes, show them it's ok and offer your help when possible.
There’s no off-the-shelf formula for being error-proof at work. The important thing is to communicate early when they're facing difficulties at a certain task.
Ask questions, we will never be bothered or annoyed by someone who has lots of questions. In fact, we love people who ask questions, they usually become the best developers. You can ask for help on Slack, ask to schedule calls with peers, ask people to recommend learning materials. Anything. Be creative about your learning.
One thing that often leads to errors is miscommunication. When assigned to a certain task, make sure you fully understand what the expectations are for the project: ask about the deadline, format of delivery, who's available to help and when, what is the level of quality required, etc.
