At Avalonia UI, we believe in creating an environment where people can do their best work without unnecessary rules or corporate nonsense. Our approach is simple: treat people like adults and trust them to make good decisions.
Our primary rule is straightforward - don't be horrible. We expect everyone to treat their colleagues with respect and kindness. This isn't complicated: be professional, be considerate, and remember there's a human on the other side of that Telegram message.
We trust you to manage your time effectively. Need to do the school run? Have a dentist appointment? Want to work when you're most productive? That's fine. We care about outcomes, not when you're online.
While we respect academic achievements, we care more about what you can actually do. Real-world experience, practical skills, and proven ability to deliver matter more than credentials.
Life's too short to work with difficult people. We're selective about our customers and partners - we'll politely decline work if we don't think it's a good fit for either party. We believe good business relationships should be enjoyable and mutually respectful.
Being distributed across 9 countries isn't just a policy - it's core to how we operate. We've built our entire way of working around asynchronous communication and trust.
We regularly review and adjust compensation based on performance and contribution. We don't wait for annual reviews - if someone's doing exceptional work, we recognize and reward it.
We keep things simple. No unnecessary meetings, no bureaucratic processes, no corporate politics. Just clear communication and focus on getting things done.
We believe in honest, straightforward communication. While we always maintain professionalism and respect, we don't sugar-coat things or play office politics.
No forced fun, no mandatory team building, no artificial hierarchies.
While we respect everyone's right to their own views, we keep political discussions outside of work. We're here to build great products and serve our customers.
If something doesn't directly contribute to making our offerings better or our team stronger, we probably don't need a policy about it.
