Working at 9to5
At 9to5 you work in a small team of software engineers. Tom and Susan started the company in 2012 after their education at TU Delft and are actively participating in the development of the software. We have UX / UI designers and web, Android, iOS and back-end developers in-house. As a result, we often work on a project with the entire team. We are all in one room and often work hard and concentrated, but there is also time for fun. Dress code is casual, but representative.
On an average working day you arrive between 8:30 am and 9:00 am, we have a standup at 9 am and we get to work. Around 10 am it is time for coffee with a cookie and then continue working until lunch. Lunch is shared and delivered weekly at the cost of 9to5. After lunch we work until 5:00 PM to 5:30 PM. Is it a Friday? Then the day will end with a nice drink anyway, but that is not excluded on any other day.
