We are proud of our Career Progression Framework which gives us visibility and immediate feedback on an individuals capabilities and more importantly their potential. This empowers teams and managers to have trasparent conversations about the goals tey need to set to grow as an engineer and the path to growth in your level and ultimately to level up!
This framework is accompanied by a performance management tool which we document and monitor progress through out the year.
Do you prefer always writing your own software for everything or use frameworks if they fit?
We are building something completely new and in some cases never been done before. So there is a lot of creating our "own stuff" yes.
Important thought is that if there is an industry standard that is the best solution to solve our and our customers problem we would not write from scratch.

What is your remote work policy?
We have a Hybrid work style. We don't have any strict policy on when one can and can't work from home. This you coordinate with your team and manager.
In general thought we like to be onsite close to our robots. It's in our DNA to work together, bounce ideas and strategies face to face. Serendipity plays a bit part in our success.
Remote work is not WFH. Working from home is no issue, but we currently are not setup to accommodate fully remote workers. Perhaps in the future but for now we are based in Switzerland and near the Zurich region.

All our teams incorporate agile ideas into they‘re way of working to contiously improve the capabilities of ANYmal. We don‘t enforce a methodology, some of our teams work scrum-like, others follow Kanban. Recurring meetings are kept to a minimum and follow a clear purpose (e.g. standups, weekly team sync).
We use quarterly OKRs to set tangible goals and align with the rest of the company. Product owners help to break down high-level goals into concrete work packages.
We try to follow the Devops mentality, by sharing responsibilities for testing and operating our solutions. By leveraging our CI/CD system and investing in test automation we aim to keep release campaigns short.
