How we foster connection, collaboration, and culture across borders.

Remote-First at Our Core

At TESTIFI, we are a remote-first company, embracing flexibility and global collaboration. With our headquarters in Munich, an office in Budapest, and most of our team working remotely, we understand the opportunities and challenges that come with distributed teams. Our approach allows us to hire top talent from diverse backgrounds and locations while maintaining a strong, connected culture.

But what does being remote-first truly mean for how we work, collaborate, and build a thriving company culture?

Creating a Connected Culture Across Borders

For us, a great remote culture isn’t just about flexible schedules—it’s about creating meaningful connections and fostering an environment where everyone feels included, heard, and valued. We believe that distance shouldn’t mean disconnection. Here’s how we bring our team together:

🌎 Monthly Townhall Meetings

Every month, the entire TESTIFI team comes together in our Town Hall Meeting. It’s more than just an update session—it’s a time for connection. We:

• Share company news and strategic updates.

• Introduce new team members, giving them a warm welcome.

• Celebrate milestones and wins together.

• Reflect on our core values and how they shape our work.

These sessions are crucial for maintaining transparency, building trust, and ensuring that everyone feels like part of the journey, no matter where they are in the world.

Connecting Virtually in New Ways: WorkAdventure

Beyond traditional tools like Google Meet, Slack, and others, we’ve introduced WorkAdventure—a virtual office space that allows our team to meet, collaborate, and socialize in a playful and engaging environment.

WorkAdventure enables:

• Spontaneous conversations, replicating the “water cooler” moments from physical offices.

• Interactive team collaborations in a virtual world, enhancing connection beyond video calls.

• Personalized spaces, where team members can share a bit of themselves.

It’s another way we build bridges across distances and keep our culture vibrant and dynamic.

Living Our Values Remotely

Our company values guide how we work, collaborate, and grow together, no matter where we are:

• 🤝 Teamwork: We believe in supporting each other. Our partners are part of our extended team. We enable and complete each other through openness, collaboration, and alignment with our vision.

• 🎯 Ownership: Every team member takes pride in their work, speaks up for their ideas and follows through with commitment. We hold ourselves accountable and stay focused on delivering business value.

• 💬 Authenticity: At TESTIFI, you can be yourself. We foster an environment where honesty, active listening, and real feedback are part of everyday interactions.

• 🌍 Diversity: Embracing different cultures, perspectives, and ways of thinking is core to our identity. Our intercultural team thrives on continuous learning, psychological safety, and open-minded communication.

• 🎉 Joyfulness: We celebrate together, keep the fun alive, and enjoy what we do. From virtual coffee chats to town hall celebrations, we make space for joy in our daily work.

These values are not just words on a page—they are reflected in how we show up for each other every day.

Striving for a Strong Remote Culture

We recognize that building a strong remote culture requires intention. It means:

• 🌟 Creating intercultural connections across time zones.

• 📣 Ensuring psychological safety so that everyone feels empowered to speak up.

• 🎯 Fostering engagement through regular feedback and recognition.

• 💡 Supporting continuous learning and personal development.

Our goal is to build a workplace where everyone can thrive—whether they’re working from a home office in Munich, a café in Budapest, or anywhere else in the world.
