What Makes the Symph Office

At Symph we value creative thinking a lot, because it shaped our culture, our systems and the way we do things. We do not worry much about our team on that front, since the people at Symph are creative by nature and we are proud of that.

The physical space does not decide how we think, but it still matters a lot. A study on how physical work environments support creativity put it like this:

Physical environments influence creativity and collaboration through perceived understandings of specific physical components and elements within the workplace. It is based on these perceptions that individuals can begin to identify which components and elements make them feel more creative and more willing to collaborate.

So we wanted the Symph space to be more than cubicles, paper and computer monitors. We wanted a place that invites imagination, play and trying out ideas that sit outside the box.

Each piece in the office stands for someone on the team. It reminds us that Symph is what it is because of its people, and that the office still feels full of life when nobody is in it.

We also made a video that shows the Symph space and the objects you do not usually see in an office.

A space like this gets people curious, and that is where good ideas, good working relationships, collaborations and meaningful projects start for us. It also keeps us motivated to act on our vision, which is to love, change, and hack.

We are looking for interns, too. If you want to join our team (and work in this kind of space, winks), read our post on internships at Symph to see how to apply.
