Swapps Values

We make what seems imposible, possible

There are always challenges in terms of development and operations, we believe that
nothing is impossible to solve or do, so we always look for the best ways possible to achieve our goals.

We never stop learning

If we don't know something, we are always willing to search and constantly learn.

We are transparent

We are always honest with our clients and employees. We like having everything documented and tracked in order to be completely transparent in everything we do.

We are always improving

Continuous improvement is important for us. We take into account all the honest feedback given by everyone in the team in order to make things better each time.

How we work and communicate

At Swapps you will practice a lot of your English. As our clients
are mostly from the United States, our communication is in English mainly. We use Slack to communicate within the team and email for institutional communications or work
notifications.

We work with Agile and Kanban methodologies and use ClickUp to organize our daily tasks and project management.
For calls and video calls we use Zoom or Slack calls. We also use Toggl to keep track of the time we spend on our tasks and be transparent with our clients.

Most of our team works remotely, but you have the option to work from the office whenever you want. We have a daily short meeting at the beginning of the day to know the status of projects, how each team member is doing and any roadblocks that may appear in the day.

On Fridays, we make a weekly wrap up of what we did well and what we need help with.

We also gather once a month, so we see our faces personally and share some time together out of work, we normally go to eat or do cool activities.
