Railswarians work from different parts of the world. We don’t have a fixed full-time schedule and are flexible in organizing our work and meetings. RWNs know exactly when to book a video call and when to choose asynchronous communication and don’t complicate things by scheduling a call if a problem can be dealt with within a single message.

Not only are we free to choose almost any location to work from (the only criterion is a decent internet connection), but we also provide you with a bonus, you can spend to set up a comfortable home office or rent a coworking space in a chosen location.

In our survey, all RWNs mentioned a strong team as one of the most powerful advantages they felt once joining Railsware. However, we all have a different understanding of what a strong team means. Among the most common phrases we heard were: “I don’t have to carry everything on my shoulders,” “Railsware is an experienced, motivated professional team that can teach you something new,” “Everyone has a great responsibility and ownership level,” “These are the people I can always rely on.”

Railswarians respect and value life-work balance. We don’t work on weekends, holidays (that each RWN chooses for themselves), or vacations. We want to make sure that all teammates have enough time for their families and hobbies. RWNs indicate time off in their calendars, so no one bothers them while they are swimming, playing with their kids, or having an appointment with a doctor.

As a distributed team, our main desire was to keep all the benefits flexible and available to each Railswarian no matter the location. Also, we wanted to simplify access to them and reduce unnecessary stress for the team. After some experiments, we created a bureaucracy-free approach to benefit, according to which a Railswarian gets an additional sum and uses it the way they feel is right without any reports.  

A product studio business model provides us with a wide variety of choices. It allows us to create our own and clients’ products and choose tools, technologies, and approaches that work best in each particular case. Such freedom makes it easy to enjoy our work and lets us forget about pressure and limitations.  

Railsware is a project-driven company focused on automating and streamlining processes wherever possible. We love well-defined processes but we don’t let them overshadow our end objectives. That’s why we’re always ready to create, test, improve, and reinvent them as needed, ensuring they continue to help us achieve our goals. 

It’s incredible how fast people get used to openly sharing their opinions and suggesting improvements when joining Railsware. No matter the position, people can freely discuss processes, projects, and strategies and offer their vision of making them better. It leads us to the next benefit.
