Get to know the teams
Individual teams have almost 100% autonomy. We set the company-wide direction, but how we approach it is up to each team to figure out in their own way. Each team has its own budget that it uses as it sees fit.

Flexible hours are already a reality in many companies in our country. Though, sometimes it's just a buzzword, they talk about it but in fact you are stuck in meetings and cannot influence your work schedule as much. I think the work-life balance is set up well here at Showmax.
Working on the technology for a video-on-demand service is a unique challenge. You'll never get tired of it because there's always something new to learn, and you'll have a great time while doing it.
I think we created an environment with smart people and friendly culture. I love it here because of the people. I like to learn from them. It works like a magnet: People want to get in and don't want to leave.
