Our values

One team policy

Good understanding and sync between team members is the essence of our cooperation with clients. By “one team policy” we mean reaching levels of transparency and communication that eliminate the boundaries between the client and the project team. From day one, we share every resource connected with product development: code repositories, timesheets, budget flow, etc. Apart from that, we keep the communication open – anyone on the team can join the conversation in the development process and contribute to its final result. To ensure the whole collaboration runs smoothly, we rely on dedicated tools, including Atlassian, Google Suite or Slack.

400+ ACCOMPLISHED PROJECTS

Product excellence

Through the years of collaboration with different clients, we’ve gathered a team that is driven by a genuine passion for developing software products. The focus on client’s success is what motivates us to extend our competences and look for state-of-the-art technological solutions. Apart from that, we’re excited about building products that have a positive influence on the lives of individual customers and businesses.

4.6 SCORE ON CLUTCH

Inclusivity

What makes a great team that is able to deliver outstanding results? Of course it’s talent, experience and soft skills, but also inclusivity. At Code & Pepper, we support diversity in the software industry by hiring people of various origins and lifestyles. Also, we are proud to sponsor community initiatives for women in IT, such as Rails Girls. Creating a place where everyone can feel comfortable may not be easy, but it gives us plenty of joy and satisfaction.

Thomas McHugh Founder & Director at Finbourne
We have used a variety of skill sets provided by Code & Pepper, including UX design and development. We have also found using their Scrum process to be very beneficial to measuring the progress of the project. We are happy to recommend Code & Pepper as a partner.

Duncan Campbell Head of Product at Oathello
Code & Pepper provided an impressive level of service outside the original scope of requirements. At no additional charge, they proactively redesigned the product to enhance the final version. They took on the bulk of project management responsibilities and facilitated an open line of dialogue throughout.

Daniel Kunz Chief Product Officer at Flink
We value Code & Pepper for the high quality of their work and for their positive attitude. Working in the team-to-team model meant that we all felt equally responsible for the product, solved problems more effectively and generated positive energy that stayed with us throughout the project.
