Work environment

At Axsh we strongly believe in flexibility, comfort and freedom. The flexiblity allows everyone at the company to create a healthy relationship between work and family. There is no dress code, we have flexible working hours and do our best to provide anything our employees need to work efficiently. Programming is a creative task and the environment needed to get those creative juices flowing is different for everyone. We want everyone to be comfortable.

To make sure everyone can work efficiently, computer hardware is kept at a high performance standard and updated regularly.

To make sure everyone can work comfortably, they receive an Aeron chair, and a large desk to accommodate their two to three displays.

We continue to aim to create an environment where every person can grow professionally, talents are nurtured and skills are developed.

Birth of the Keiou Depāto Kai

In 2011 Axsh had their first Keiou Depāto Kai.

A take on the traditional Japanese nomikai that has become a company tradition since. For a Keiou Depāto Kai we go to the nearby Keiou department store, buy all the food and drink we want using company money and then have fun consuming it at the office. These events are very informal and often accompanied by heated bouts of Mario Kart on our big 4K television. Unlike traditional nomikais, there is no social pressure to attend.
